Bokpin, has expressed his view that the government\u2019s frequent imposition of\u00a0taxes\u00a0represents a lazy strategy for revenue generation, ultimately causing financial strain on citizens.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on Newsfile on JoyNews, he elaborated on the idea that while the need for increased revenue to support the economy is acknowledged, the unpredictability and regular introduction of new taxes are placing a burden on Ghanaians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is state-sponsored robbery. This is robbery that leaves the citizens financially repressed. It should not be accepted. I think in Ghana, we have allowed too many wrongs in this country,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Godfred A. Bokpin emphasized the significance of exploring more effective methods for revenue generation that do not jeopardize the capacity of households to fulfill their essential needs and the ability of the private sector to stay competitive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody can tell us that the only way out is to impose more taxes and taxes, as we have done. The more we impose taxes, the real effect in scaling up or our tax revenue to GDP ratio is not seen,\u201d he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a small open economy. We have more than 27 different tax handles. That is not the only thing. If since 2020 the taxes we have imposed, if you estimate the compliance cost to the taxpayer, it\u2019s huge, configuring systems virtually every six months, there is no predictability,\u201d Prof Bokpin said.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the need for the government to exert more effort in generating revenue for the benefit of the people it seeks to support in building the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we not building it (economy) for Ghanaians? Are we not building it for Ghanaian private-sector businesses? What happens if by the time we achieve macroeconomic stability, half of Ghanaians have gone into poverty and have no way of reversing that? What economy is that? At the centre of it all are people and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe banking sector spends millions of dollars to configure their system to allow the charging of E levy. Check the manufacturing sector, they pay so much and disruption to their production line just to fix their tax stamp or something. Virtually every six months, there\u2019s some level of disruption to planning, and to the production process. My considered view is that what Ghana is doing is not taxation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, the government instructed the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to collaborate with two power distribution companies to transfer Value Added Tax (VAT) collected from consumers surpassing their lifeline power consumption. Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, in a press release, directed the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO) to coordinate with GRA to implement VAT on households exceeding the specified maximum consumption level for lifeline unit block charges, effective January 1, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>However, on January 19, the Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr. Yaw Baah, expressed opposition, stating that labor cannot accept the imposition of a 15% Value Added Tax on lifeline electricity consumers, deeming it detrimental to workers\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Baah questioned the government\u2019s decision to burden the already suffering workers with this new tax amid prevailing hardships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis country called Ghana, and all the resources we have, now the government doesn\u2019t see anywhere else to tax; they are taxing our electricity also. Tomorrow they will tax our water, and we are not going to sit down for that to continue. That\u2019s why I\u2019m saying you are going to have a baptism of fire; we need to fight it until this thing is cancelled,\u201d Dr Baah said.<\/p>\n<p>source:tigpost.co<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economist and Professor of Finance, Prof Godfred A.
