“As a Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, I encounter lots of business people on a daily and weekly basis. I can tell you as a matter of fact that, many companies are struggling to pay taxes, and some defaulting companies risk being hauled to the court and all that. This proposed tax amnesty will save many businesses in Ghana,” Mr. Okyere Baafi disclosed.
