The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has embarked on a new drive to boost its petroleum cost recovery department and petroleum revenue department.

The GRA has seen a number of its employees from these departments migrate to oil and gas companies here which have been paying higher salaries.

In an advertisement in yesterday’s Stabroek News, the GRA said that the “unprecedented growth” of the petroleum sector and the resultant expansion of the oil and gas tax roll has conferred additional responsibility on the GRA to ensure that the demands of the oil and gas sector and its taxpayers are adequately met.
