It is important that the AGI , knows that government can only devlope the country through taxes. This is the pratice everywhere in this world.
In Europe and Amrica and evrywhere in this world a worker pay his or her taxes but still pays vat when one buys anything,
How can we build schools and roads and the rest if the tax rates remain the same all the time when time don't stand still.We as people must start to be real and stop such foolish acts and pay what they we asked to collect for the state.

YES AGREED GOVERNMENT NEEDS TAXES SO THAT IT CAN DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.
IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT THAT INDUSTRIAL SECTOR SHOULD GET SOME CONCESSION SO THAT IT CAN EMPLOY LOT OF OUR YONGSTERS WHO ARE LEAVING THE SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.IT IS THE INDUSTRY ONLY WHO CAN CREATE JOBS NOT TRADING SECTOR. TODAY ALL IMPORTED PHAMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AS WELL AS LOCALLY MANUFACTURED PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS HAVE 17.5% VAT. HOW DO YOU EXPECT LOCAL INDUSTRY WILL BE COMPETITIVE SINCE IN INDIA AND CHINA INTEREST RATES ARE LOW AND EXPORT SUBSIDY ON EXPORT. SINCE 1957 HEALTH, AGRICULTURE AND EDUCATIONAL SECTORS HAVE BEEN EXEMPTED FROM EXCISE, SALES TAX OR VAT.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS INCENTIVE LOCALLY MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS ARE ABLE TO MEET ATLEAST 30% OF NEEDS OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS IN THE COUNTRY.
SO NOW IT IS BETTER TO IMPORT AND DISTRIBUTE PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND DISTRIBUTE THAN MANUFACTURE IN GHANA.

so that leave the NDC out! Ghana is a country of thieves(in gov) worse than Nigeria..You don't pay Vat in every state in usa! You pay SALES tax--which some state don't apply to labor invoices..so if you have car repaired you are taxed on parts and fluids but not the labor..Also the usa has property tax (car and homes/land)-income tax,estate tax,fuel tax(pays for roads)

What government must not do is to pause implementation for so-called consultation to build consensus first. AGI can propose alternative ways in which the government could mitigate given rough urges of the tax. REAL fiscal discipline is the key.

some states in usa don't charge sales tax on medicine or even (uncooked) food. They just charge tax on food cooked in the store
