Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, has reiterated his commitment to abolish the controversial E-Levy and betting tax if elected President in the 2024 general elections.
He outlined his administration’s vision for comprehensive tax reforms aimed at reducing the financial burden on Ghanaians.
This includes a tax amnesty for previous years’ unpaid taxes, as well as waivers on interest and penalties for unfiled taxes.
The amnesty would allow taxpayers to come forward and pay what they owe without penalty. The waivers would provide relief to those who have failed to file their taxes in the past.
Dr. Bawumia also detailed strategies to position Ghana as a global digital leader, focusing on policies, competitive incentives, and strategic investments to transform the nation into a world-class digital economy.
Business-friendly tax reforms
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia also pledged to establish a more business-friendly environment if elected in the upcoming 2024 elections.
He highlighted his unwavering commitment to boosting and expanding the private sector.
He outlined a comprehensive plan for a revamped tax regime under his administration, specifically tailored to accelerate business growth and spur economic development across the country.
