The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced plans by government to create a new digital platform where tax returns can be filed digitally.
The Vice President says the practice where individuals and organisations need to go to Ghana Revenue Authority offices to file tax returns will be faded out.
Speaking at the 4th Annual Center of UN Studies Lecture in Accra, Dr. Bawumia said Ghana’s digitization drive is paying off.
“We are making sure that, for example, you can now file your taxes on your mobile phone. You don’t have to go and do the long-winded process of filing taxes,” he said.
In Authority of this Bohyeba Afriyie on plan B Fm’s Ebanoosen interviewed Mr Geoffrey Ocansey A Tax Analyst and here is what he had to say about it.
He said that it is a good initiative because it will save time and make things easier and faster but he thinks As per the Rise of the Corruption cases in the country Ghanaians will be more content with a system that will make gathered taxes transparent.
He also said that Digitization is a good thing but the right things must be Digitized.
He concluded that DR Bawumia must work to provide what Ghanaians need and not what he thinks is right for us to help fight the Economic problem.
