The Deputy Minister of Finance, Abena Osei Asare, has justified the new tax bills currently before Parliament.
She insists that the new tax bills are urgently needed to shore up the government’s revenue mobilisation agenda to revive the ailing economy.
Parliament will today, March 23, vote on the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, Excise Duty and Excise Tax Stamp (Amendment) Bills as well as the Growth and Sustainability Levy Bill.
Approval of these outstanding revenue mobilisation bills will facilitate the Board Approval for the $3 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) Programme staff-level agreement.
