Newmont Africa's Ghana operations at Ahafo South and Akyem mines has paid a total of ¢2.76 billion in taxes, royalties, levies, and carried interest to the government of Ghana in 2022.
This was through the Ghana Revenue Authority, Forestry Commission, and Ministry of Finance.
For 2022, Newmont Africa said it "paid ¢1.53 billion as Corporate Income Tax, ¢548.3 million as Mineral Royalties, ¢261.3 million as Pay As You Earn, ¢164.5 million as Withholding Tax, ¢222.1 million as Carried Interest, and ¢35.5 million as Forestry Levy."
In the last quarter of the year (September to December of 2022), Newmont Africa’s payment to government amounted to GHS 1.04 billion, across the two operations.
Breaking it down by operation, Newmont Africa’s Regional Chief Financial Officer, Danquah Addo-Yobo, said, “the Ahafo operation contributed ¢1.22 billion for the year while the Akyem operation contributed ¢1.54 billion.”
“Over the years, Newmont Africa has been recognised as a compliant and significant taxpayer in Ghana, and has been duly acknowledged as such by the Ministry of Finance and its revenue agency, the Ghana Revenue Authority.”
Beyond meeting its tax obligations to the government, Newmont Africa also supports the nation’s growth through employment opportunities, local supply chain development, and social investment, among others.
Newmont Africa has played and continues to play a major role in the government’s gold purchasing programme, designed to shore up the country’s gold reserves and help stabilise the national currency.
