GRA Data Disputes Dr. Amin Adam’s Claims of Non-Implementation of Betting Tax
The Ghana Revenue Authority’s data indicates that the 10% betting withholding tax was implemented by the Akufo-Addo administration, generating significant revenue. This contradicts the claims made by Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, emphasizing public concern over the transparency of tax collection and usage.
Data from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has refuted claims made by former Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, asserting that the 10% betting withholding tax was not enforced by the previous administration. According to the Domestic Tax Revenue Division of the GRA, GH¢15 million was generated from this tax within its first month of implementation in October 2023.
The GRA’s data contradicts Dr. Amin Adam’s assertions regarding the betting tax, demonstrating substantial revenue generation from the tax. Calls for an investigation into the previous government’s management of betting revenues reflect a significant public interest in transparency. The GRA aims to substantially contribute to government revenue through this tax.
