  2. Mahama government scraps five taxes to ease burden on Ghanaians

    The Mahama administration's 2025 Budget removed the 1% Electronic Transfer Levy, 10% withholding tax on betting and lottery winnings, Emissions Levy, VAT on motor vehicle insurance, and 1.5% withholding tax on unprocessed gold from small-scale miners, with Parliament passing repeal bills and President Mahama assenting in April 2025. The Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana says the removal has made mobile money transfers cheaper and eased burdens on businesses and motorists, though he cautioned that tax relief should not lead to revenue collapse and urged focus on broadening the tax base and closing loopholes.

    Hopeson Adorye, Director of Field Operations for the United Party, argues that Ghana's recent power outages should not be called "dumsor" because they differ from the predictable, prolonged interruptions the term describes.
