President John Dramani Mahama has reassured the business community that his administration will not resort to increasing taxes as a solution to Ghana's financial challenges.

Speaking to business leaders during a post-event reflection on the Kwahu Business Forum on Tuesday, Mahama emphasized the importance of fairness and clarity in taxation to encourage compliance and support economic growth. "I noticed that when the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) was introduced, everybody applauded - you applauded the GRA.

The GRA is your friend.

I can assure you they are your friend, and they will become even more business-friendly," he said, pointing to the need for a cooperative relationship between the tax authority and the private sector.
