The Growth and Sustainability Levy Bill, the Excise Duty Amendment Bill, the Income Tax Amendment Bill, and the Ghana Revenue Authority Bill all have a GHS4 billion yearly revenue goal.<\/p>\n<p>To get the IMF\u2019s US$3 billion extended lending line to save the economy, they needed the board of directors\u2019 consent.<\/p>\n<p>During his recent tour to galvanize support for the NDC\u2019s flag bearer slot, John Dramani Mahama noted that given the way Akufo Addo is imposing taxes on Ghanaians recklessly, he will soon tax Ghanaians for being in a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrices at the various supermarkets have skyrocketed; the government has reneged on its promise of moving away from taxation to production, to the extent that even betting is taxed\u201d, the former president observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost everything is taxed now,\u201d he bemoaned. He blamed the economic crisis on the Akufo-Addo government\u2019s voracious appetite for borrowing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country wouldn\u2019t have been in this economic mess if the government had not engaged in excessive borrowing. We are now seeking debt forgiveness from external creditors,\u201d John Mahama said.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23014\" src=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-300x189.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-1024x645.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-696x438.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-1068x673.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM-667x420.jpeg 667w, https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-22-at-10.25.23-PM.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row_inner tdi_35 vc_row vc_inner wpb_row td-pb-row\">\n<div class=\"vc_column_inner tdi_37 wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-inner-column td-pb-span12 td-is-sticky\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" data-sticky-offset=\"20\">\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_single_tags tdi_40 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_40\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
