Trouble Looms As Gov’t Will Soon Tax Trotros, Aboboyaas, Okadas And Others Businesses – See Info Minority Leader Drops

-

The Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has disclosed the government’s plan to introduce an annual tax of GHC100 on all petrol and diesel vehicles, including trotros, aboboyaas, okadas, taxis, commercial buses, and ambulances.

Dr. Forson contends that the government’s stated reason for these taxes, which is to encourage the use of cleaner energy sources like electric vehicles, is merely a pretext for its actual intention of generating additional revenue.

He emphasized that the government’s lack of innovative economic policies has resulted in it resorting to widespread taxation without thoughtful consideration of its impact on the general population.

“This government indeed has an insatiable appetite for taxes. The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government is imposing 20% tax on “akpeteshie” (they have run out of ideas). Petrol and diesel vehicle owners should also expect to pay a new annual tax of GHS100 per vehicle on all petrol and diesel cars (internal combustion engine vehicles).”

“This tax will be imposed on all trotros, aboboyaas, okadas, taxis, commercial buses, trucks, ambulances, construction and heavy-duty vehicles, water tankers, private cars, etc. Once your vehicle is powered by petrol or diesel, the government is imposing this tax on you.”
