Parliament on April 1 passed three new revenue measures in government’s bid to generate revenue of about ¢4 billion internally.
The revenue measures namely the Income Tax Amendment Bill, The Excise Duty Amendment Bill, and the Growth and Sustainability Amendment Bill are to enable government complete processes to secure a $3 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme.
However, industry as well as some Ghanaians have been agitated about the passing of these new measures saying it will lead to the collapse and relocation of businesses in the country.
