The Minority in Parliament has reacted to government’s 2025 Fiscal policy, criticizing some key tax reforms by the government.
Addressing the media in Parliament shortly after the presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, the Karaga MP and former finance minister, Dr. Amin Adam accused the government of deceiving Ghanaians by committing to abolish the VAT on motor insurance and the betting tax.
He claimed that the previous NPP administration never implemented the betting tax and VAT on motor insurance, hence Ghanaians should not rejoice over the announcement to remove these taxes as they never existed.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, betting tax that they said they had abolished, we never collected betting tax. We never implemented the betting tax so to come and tell Ghanaians that you have abolished something that was never implemented is to deceive the people of Ghana,” he stated.
