TUC rejects 15% VAT imposition on domestic power consumption exceeding lifeline limit - MyJoyOnline

“This country called Ghana, and all the resources we have, now government doesn’t 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?

“How can you add this to the problems that we have in this country.

It used to be 50(kWh), they have brought it to 30 and if you have two light bulbs in your house, two, and you have a television, if you leave your TV on for more than five hours, you will pay this tax,” he said, adding that everyone using a refrigerator will be paying as well.

If we don’t resist this, tomorrow they will come and tax water

They will say there is a lifeline

This lifeline they are talking about is two bulbs, part of television, maybe half of television, if you switch on your fridge, you will pay this VAT.”
