The Institute of Progressive Governance (IPG) has said that closing the revenue mobilisation gap, accurately assessing tax liability, and improving tax audit are critical to ensuring the effective management of public resources.
These are non-negotiable triggers that the 2025 budget must comprehensively address, IPG said.
As the Finance Minister prepares to present the 2025 budget statement on Tuesday, March 10, the IPG budget should communicate clearly how the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will leverage technology to enhance tax administration, identify and register taxable persons and improve tax compliance in Ghana, without any form of tax increase.
Regarding structural reforms, IPG said the budget should communicate unambiguously how the government will operationalize Section 88 (2) (b) of the Public Financial Management (PFM) Regulation which seek to rein Entities to improve accountability and and transparency.
