Government to make tax obligations
more attractive for businesses
Wa, July 27, Ghanadot - The government has embarked on a
programme to reform the tax net in order to make it
attractive for the business community to voluntarily honour
their tax obligations.
Mr. Ambrose Dery, out-going Upper West Regional Minister,
said this in a speech read on his behalf during the launch
of VAT Flat Rate Scheme at Wa on Thursday.
The launch, which, was preceded by an hour float, finally
ended at the Wa Naa's palace.
Although the Regional Office of VAT service did a lot of
announcements and publications on the launch, the attendance
was poor. The business community were virtually absent
at the grounds of the programme.
Mr. Dery said it was an offence to evade tax and urged the
business community in the region to help expose tax evaders
so that they would be made to face the full rigours of the
law.
Mr. Kwesi Ackaah, Regional Head of the VAT service, said the
service would improve on collaboration among the business
community and government departments.
