The Minister of Finance, Dr , has refuted claims by the former finance minsiter, Dr.

Mohammed Amin Adam, that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration never implemented the Betting Tax.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, Dr Ato Forson insisted that the Betting Tax was implemented by the previous government in the second half of 2024. "I don't think he's on top of that matter because my checks revealed that it was implemented in the second half of 2024.

And my checks also reveal that year-to-date, the government of Ghana has collected over GH¢80 million from Betting Tax, so, I don't know what he's talking about.
