Established on January 27, 2000, the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) resulted from the merger of two departments, the Inland Revenue Department and Customs and Excise Department. This change was as a result of the passing of the Revenue Authority Act, No. 13 of 1996. The GRA's first Commissioner-General (CG), Mr. Edgar Heyligar, spearheaded the formation of the Guyana Revenue Authority. The Inland Revenue Department and Customs & Excise Tax Departments were renamed Internal Revenue and Customs and Trade Administration.
