Speaking on his weekly programme, Issues in the News, Nandlall said that while the agency will have to provide an explanation on its previous assessment, he clarified that GRA has long held the legal authority to conduct post-audit reviews of import duty assessments. Notably, GRA is going after the vehicles over breaches of re-migrant and duty-free agreements, claiming Mohamed owes over $1.2 billion in taxes. Details revealed by GRA are as follows:

One 2020 Ferrari PAD 5000 in the name of Hana Mohamed, with additional taxes of $479,743, 489 for breach of the re-migrant requirements, One 2023 Land Rover Range Rover PAC 9000 in the name of Leslie Khan, with additional taxes of $61,485,982 for breach of the re-migrant requirements, One 2023 Rolls Royce PAE 5000 in the name of Bibi Mohamed, with additional taxes of $320,064,246 for breach of the re-migrant requirements, One 2020 Lamborghini Roadster PZZ 4000 titled to Azruddin Mohamed, with additional taxes of $371,775,168 for false declaration of value.

One 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser PAB 3000 titled to Azruddin Mohamed, with additional taxes of $24,641,272 for false declaration of value.

For his part, Nandlall stated that GRA will have to explain who did the initial assessment and why it was done in the way that it was done, resulting in millions in unpaid taxes. However, he explained, “The GRA always has and always had a power to review the assessment of duties and taxes. It is called a post-audit power. It is in the law, and any businessman who has had any relationship with the Guyana Revenue Authority would know of that power.” (Kaieteur News)
