A Ranking Member on the Finance Committee of Parliament, Cassiel Ato Forson has vowed that the Minority in Parliament will oppose all the ‘killer taxes’ in the 2022 budget.

Presenting the 2022 Budget Statement in Parliament on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta announced certain taxation decisions taken by the government for next year including an Electronic Transaction Levy tax.

Speaking to the media after the budget presentation, Cassiel Ato Forson said the Minority in Parliament will fight to oppose the taxes on behalf of the ordinary Ghanaian who will suffer if these taxes take effect.

According to him, it is the view of the Minority that the introduction of the taxes are unacceptable especially the E-Levy tax that will see Ghanaians paying more when conducting business through Mobile Money (MoMo).
