After the exercise, the letter indicated, the GRA could certify that Petrosol was not indebted to the GRA in respect of petroleum taxes and levies as it had paid all the taxes and levies amounting to about GH¢476 million.

The Commissioner-General expressed his satisfaction by urging Petrosol “to continue to play your roles as corporate citizens.

Accept our congratulations on your compliance”.

The Managing Director of Petrosol, Michael Bozumbil, expressed delight about the letter, indicating that it would serve as a morale booster for the company to continue on the path of ethical practices.

He said notwithstanding the challenges in the industry and the economy as a whole, the company had resolved to continue to do what was right so as to contribute to government revenue and economic development.

He expressed the hope that the state and its agencies would also support Petrosol to grow and do more for the state.
