The government has been urged to review upwards the 35 per cent tax imposed on imported vehicles aged one to five years.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Volkswagen (VW) Ghana, an automobile company, Mr Jeffery Oppong Peprah, who made the call said that would help increase the patronage of locally assembled vehicles.

A locally assembled vehicle Mr Peprah said this on Monday during a media interview at the launch of the new VV Amarok pick-up model vehicle by VW Gha­na, which is assembled in Ghana.

He said the assembling of ve­hicles locally was increasing under the Ghana Automotive Develop­ment Policy (GAFP).
