Tax Reforms: Whatever You Have To Do, Do It Now! - Prof Agyekum Tells Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has announced some tax reforms he intends to implement if he becomes president in January 2025.

He plans to simplify tax payments for businesses and promote growth by implementing a tax amnesty and a flat tax rate in 2025.

"My new, friendly tax reforms are aimed at boosting indigenous businesses," he noted.

Professor Kofi Agyekum, popularly known as Opanyin Agyekum, speaking to this during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', urged the Vice President to implement the tax reforms now.

"If we want things to change, it can be done...Bawumia is part of this government. He is the Vice President, so if he intends to do something, it can start now, before the election. if you push it to 2025, you're trying to take yourself out of what is happening in your government. He (Bawumia) shouldn't wait until he becomes President," he urged.

Meanwhile, he has backed plans to widen the tax net.
