Ghana's new government on Tuesday announced it was scrapping several Covid-era taxes introduced in an effort to secure IMF financing, citing the economic hardship placed on ordinary citizens.
Five taxes deemed "nuisance levies" by the current government -- including a one-percent levy on mobile money transfers and a value-added tax on motor vehicle insurance -- are being cancelled, Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson said, presenting the government's 2025 budget.
