The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has firmly reiterated his commitment to abolish the controversial E-Levy and betting tax if elected President in the 2024 general elections. Speaking at the NPP's manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday, August 18, he outlined his administration's vision for comprehensive tax reforms aimed at reducing the financial burden on Ghanaians. This includes a tax amnesty for previous years' unpaid taxes, as well as waivers on interest and penalties for unfiled taxes. He also detailed strategies to position Ghana as a global digital leader, focusing on policies, competitive incentives, and strategic investments to transform the nation into a world-class digital economy.
"We will fast-track Ghana's transformation into Africa's digital hub through strategic policies, incentives, and investments. This includes investing in local talent and tech start-ups while abolishing the E-Levy.
"We'll implement broad tax reforms, offering a one-time tax amnesty to all Ghanaians and corporate entities, wiping the slate clean from previous tax obligations.
