The leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten, has called for the abolition of the COVID-19 health levy and the Ghana Health Service disinfection fee.
Speaking during the launch of his Great Transformation Agenda on June 24, he questioned the relevance of these fees in 2024.
“How can we be collecting COVID fee and disinfection fee in 2024?” Kyeremanten asked, emphasizing the need to eliminate such charges.
In addition to scrapping these fees, Kyeremanten outlined plans to phase out taxes and charges on imported spare parts within two years of his administration’s establishment under the government of National Unity.
He proposed a comprehensive review of all taxes, administrative charges, and levies at the port to remove unnecessary taxes and reduce the overall tax burden on importers.
“With a view to eliminating all nuisance taxes and thereby reducing the tax burden on importers. The policy prescriptions will make Ghana have the lowest tax rate regime in ECOWAS within three years,” Kyeremanten stated.
