Deputy Finance Minister-designate, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has assured Ghanaians that the government will not introduce new taxes in the upcoming budget, despite claims by the Minority that new levies will be imposed to generate GHC 200 billion in revenue this year.
Dismissing these concerns, Nyarko Ampem emphasized that the government's focus is on broadening the tax base and enhancing compliance rather than burdening citizens with additional taxes.
Speaking ahead of the budget presentation, he stated: "The Finance Minister has said this many times-we do not need to introduce new taxes to rake in more revenue.
We are going to broaden the tax base.
