  "summary": "The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is challenging a GH¢79.65 million judgment debt awarded to Servestar Minwax (WA) Limited, arguing that the amount being pursued should undergo an independent reconciliation before any payment is made from its Tax Refund Account. The dispute began over an alleged overpayment of import duties of less than GH¢1 million in 2009, and has since escalated due to what the GRA claims is 35% daily compound interest. The High Court recently issued a Garnishee Order directing the Bank of Ghana to release the amount to Servestar Minwax and its director, Henry Manly-Spain, but the GRA is seeking to have the Garnishee Order Absolute set aside and is also appealing the ruling.",
