The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has urged Ghanaians to retain the NPP in power.
He explained that the country moves ahead and on the right path when the NPP is in power, but there’s always a retrogression whenever the NDC comes into office.
Speaking at the Kaneshie Market as part of his tour to the Greater Accra region Wednesday, September 04, 2024, Dr. Bawumia explained that his flat rate tax policy and tax amnesty will ameliorate the challenges importers face including the scuffle they usually have with the Ghana Revenue Authority.
Dr. Bawumia added that the NPP has policies that will tackle the economic hardship in the country.
“We are introducing a new directive to reform the import regime at the Port, including a flat tax policy in cedis, applicable to all goods, making Ghana’s import duty comparable to or lower than Togo’s. We are also launching a women’s bank, an SME bank dedicated to supporting women traders with financial assistance for their businesses.
“Additionally, we are introducing a tax amnesty to avoid confusion with the Ghana Revenue Authority and eliminating import duty on mobile phones.
He added that the NPP under his leadership will abolish certain taxes and provide digital skills training to the youth.
“Furthermore, we will extend the validity of driving licences to 10 years, abolish the e-levy, and provide digital skills training for the youth. If you vote for former President John Dramani Mahama, he will only be accountable for four years. However, if you vote for me, I will have the opportunity to be accountable to you for a longer period,” he pointed out.
