GRA charges Ramps with false declarations

The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) yesterday filed 10  charges against Ramps Logistics Guyana (RLG) for false declarations but the company says the charges are null and void and it pointed out that the court action had come just days after it had sought judicial review over the conduct of  the Local Content Secretariat.

In a statement, the GRA said that the charges stem from recently completed investigations carried out by its Law Enforcement and Investigations Division. It noted that the charges were filed yesterday in accordance with the provisions of the Customs Act Chapter 82:01.

The investigation determined, among other things, that during the period 2021 to 2022, RLG  – whose parent company is in Trinidad and Tobago – made several untrue declarations to the Revenue Authority.
