We read some of your sickening ignorance you think Goverment account is like your fridge there you go in to pick a bottle of water to drink??
The National Cathedral hullabaloo ask your lovely party how Goverment spends money.
Are you aware Parliament must approve all expenditure of the Executive?
I know you won't read but all the same am sending what you are talking about with ignorance here for you.

From the 1992 Constituition Article
174 (1) No taxation shall be imposed otherwise than by or under the authority of an Act of Parliament.

178. Withdrawal from Public Funds, etc.
(2) No moneys shall be withdrawn from any public fund, other than the Consolidated Fund and the Contingency Fund, unless the issue of those moneys has been authorised by or under the authority of an Act of Parliament.

So educate yourself ask Parlianent why they approve certain expensmditures and stop exposing your ignorance cos this is a big platform

MORE TITHES FOR NATIONAL CATHEDRAL

Only GH¢9 billion? You're the dance hall king, so it should be easy for you to pay that king's tax. Be patriotic and pay that tax while you still have some of those Beyonce dollars. How do you expect Akufo-Addo to be able to complete his national cathedral if you keep holding back on paying those taxes? If you don't feel like going to tax man's office to pay that tax, just call Special Envoy Ofori-Atta and he gladly show up at your residence to pick up that national cathedral tithe.

Shatta, govt does not need to support you before you pay your taxes: as long as money flows into your income, you have to pay taxes on them, irrespective if govt helped you or not.

You're even lucky that you are not in Europe: youl'd be jailed for evading taxes and then be made to pay the tax too. The jail is only for DELAYING the payment.

GRA should focus on the many illegal foreigners including Black Americans who are working remotely and living in ghana without work permits and many E Commerce foreigners and locals on YouTube and the internet Not paying any taxes. Leave the indigenous Ghanaians alone and focus on the foreigners. Go to the Expatriate and Visiting Ghana Facebook pages. They are there in masses.

In my few years in Ghana I’ve concluded that the law makers import western laws without understanding the eco system in which these laws operate. Here in Ghana, we raise capital through unorthodox means, no bank will give you a loan if you haven’t been in business for over 24 months. However, the law expects you to give government their cut immediately Business commences. We clearly do not have a tax policy in this country. The people have the money, they‘ll pay. As to how they got the money, we don’t care.
