Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram Sam George, wants the Communication Minister,Hon Ursula Owusu Ekuful and the Government to provide more clarity on the revelation that millions in under-declared taxes were saved in the telecommunications sector since the implementation of the Common Platform in 2017.
In an interview with Citi Fm ,he said,
“If MNOs have withheld and under-declared taxes to the Ghanaian government at a time that COVID is affecting government revenue, we should have seen prosecution.”
The Minister for Finance and the Minister for Communications are to establish a common platform as a mechanism for verifying the actual revenues that accrue to service providers for the purpose of computing taxes due to Government under Act 864 and revenues accruing from levies under Act 775 as amended by Act 786 of 2009.
