The Minority Leader and Member of\u00a0Parliament\u00a0for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam, Dr\u00a0Cassiel Ato Forson, has shared a list of new taxes supposedly being introduced by the\u00a0Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u00a0government.<\/p>\n

The MP in a post shared on X, on Sunday, December 3, 2024, showed portions of a tax bill the government supposedly wants parliament to approve.<\/p>\n

According to him, the new taxes the government is seeking to introduce include a 20% tax on local gin popularly known as \u2018akpeteshie\u2019.<\/p>\n

The other taxes the government was seeking to introduce include a GH\u00a2100 per vehicle annual tax on all petrol and diesel cars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Akufo-Addo\/Bawumia government is imposing 20% tax on \u201cakpeteshie\u201d (they have run out of ideas). Petrol and diesel vehicle owners should also expect to pay a new annual tax of GHS100 per vehicle on all petrol and diesel cars (internal combustion engine vehicles).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tax will be imposed on all trotros, aboboyaas, okadas, taxis, commercial buses, trucks, ambulances, construction and heavy-duty vehicles, water tankers, private cars, etc. Once your vehicle is powered by petrol or diesel, the government is imposing this tax on you. According to the government, this policy is aimed at promoting the use of cleaner\/more eco-friendly sources of energy (like electric vehicles),\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The documents also show that the government is seeking to introduce a GH\u00a2100 per tonne of carbon dioxide emission tax on all companies in the country.<\/p>\n
