According to him, GUTA will support any action taken by the government to broaden the tax base to include those who do not pay taxes.
"We don't anticipate further taxes. Additionally, we won't be concerned if new taxes are designed to entice those who aren't paying taxes to do so. We won't be concerned about that one. Compounding the taxes for those of us who pay will be our main concern, though.
"We applaud the expansion of the tax net. And it's good news that they're using whatever method to bring in a lot more people who aren't paying taxes," he said.
The fiscal policy blueprint for 2025 has been accepted by the Ghanaian administration in advance of its formal presentation to Parliament on March 11.
The administration's commitment to economic stabilization and sustainable growth is reaffirmed by this decision, which was adopted at a special Cabinet meeting on Thursday.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of Government Communications, reassured Ghanaians in a news conference following the meeting that the government is still dedicated to keeping its social and economic commitments.
He affirmed that the administration's 120-day commitments, which include the elimination of the COVID charge and betting tax, will be reflected in the fiscal policy.
The budget will also provide hope and strategic policies for the country's development, while outlining the financial situation that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government inherited.
