Consolidation
of
fiscal
data
for
general
government
is
also
not
possible
because
the
Central
and
Local
Authorities
use
different
classification
systems.
Although
MMDA
budgets
and
outturns
are
provided
to
MoLGRDE,
no
consolidated
report
is
prepared.
4.0
Tax
Administration
Various
measures
have
been
implemented
to
improve
on
non-‐tax
revenue.
The
MDAs
Retention
of
Funds
Act
2007,
(Act
735)
was
passed
in
May,
2007.
The
law
granted
12
MDAs
legislative
approval
to
retain
portions
of
their
IGFs
and
20
MDAs
approval
to
generate
IGF.
The
Internal
Audit
Agency
has
started
the
investigation
of
the
IGFs
of
18
MDAs
and
10
MMDAs
to
engender
full
disclosure
of
IGF
sources
and
collections.
To
curtail
revenue
leakages,
MOFEP
in
collaboration
with
Ministry
of
National
Security
undertook
exercises
in
a
number
of
MDAs
to
identify
sources
of
leakage
and
the
prosecution
of
culprits.
Also,
procurement
process
for
some
local
banks
to
provide
on-‐site
banking
services
for
14
MDAs
in
Accra
and
other
parts
of
Ghana
has
been
concluded.
The
implementation
of
the
National
Lotto
Act,
2006,
(Act
722)
is
also
under
way
with
the
establishment
of
the
National
Lottery
Authority
and
the
formation
of
the
Governing
Board.
Additionally,
revenue
projection
workshop
has
been
organized
for
150
participants
from
seventy-‐five
MDAs
to
fully
institutionalize
the
preparation
of
revenue
estimates.
Furthermore,
a
committee
set
up
to
bring
proposals
for
the
review
of
rents
on
government
bungalows/flats
has
started
its
work.
All
these
has
led
to
an
increase
in
non-‐tax
revenue
from
about
22.78
percent
of
total
revenue
in
2006
to
26.47
percent
in
2007
and
it
is
projected
to
increase
in
2008.
The
Tax
Policy
Unit
of
MOFEP
is
currently
undertaking
a
review
of
the
existing
exemptions
regimes
under
the
various
enactments
with
the
view
to
scaling
down
the
exemption
drain
on
national
revenue,
improve
coverage
and
compliance.
Various
policies
and
activities
have
been
undertaken
by
the
RAGB
to
enhance
revenue
generation.
These
among
others
include
commencement
of
the
development
of
a
strategic
plan
for
the
RAGB,
training
in
computer
skills
