Since it is a novelty, the GRA could involve bodies like ICA,CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF TAXATION(GH.)and Audit/Accounting Firms in finding solution to this challenge in the implementation of the concept of Self-Assessment.

Kwadjo, in London self employed people have to register their businesses and do self assessment themselves. It is only when HMRC (the revenue authority) doubts the assessment that they request to see all paper work.
