AGI president challenges Mills to fulfill major
promise
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, Jan 17, Ghanadot - The president of the Association
of Ghana Industries is challenging President Mills to
fulfill his campaign promise of allowing local manufacturers
to postpone payment of import duties on their raw materials
till after production.
The AGI has argued the facility, which is presently enjoyed
by businesses within the free-zone enclave, is
discriminatory against local manufacturers because they have
to compete in the same market where their free-zone
counterparts sell 30 percent of their output.
Nana Owusu-Afari believes postponing all such pre-production
taxes until after production will level the playing field.
He was speaking at his induction by the AGI in Accra, over
the weekend.
“Import duties on raw materials should be deferred until
after production; call it post-production taxes. When you
get post-production taxes, you are freed, for at least, a
month or two so that you can use your money to expand your
business,” Mr Owusu-Afari said.
Immediate past president of the AGI Tony Oteng-Gyasi asked
government to make it mandatory for businesses to join
associations to enhance data collection.
On her part, Trade Minister Hannah Tetteh said government
intends using revenue from the oil exploration to boost
infrastructure for businesses to thrive.
