The Tema Central Communication team member for the ruling New Patriotic Party NPP Mr. Richard Anning has said that Ghana’s tax collection system is a lazy man’s approach to mobilizing revenue which needs to be looked at.
Contributing to Plan B FM’s morning show NKOSUONSEM hosted by Obidehye Kofi Sekyi, the communicator said, that although he is an NPP member he thinks we need to be more innovative as a people because if you introduce too many taxes, investors would now have to explore other options and invest elsewhere.
He suggested that a gap between the optimum tax revenue that could be collected given the country’s economic and structural characteristics and what is being collected, hence leakages in the tax system.
