BETTING GHANA Ghana’s Finance Minister scrap the contentious betting tax 4 weeks ago Samuel Post Views: 173 Ghana’s Finance Minister-designate, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has made a commitment to scrap the contentious betting tax, citing its ineffectiveness and negative impact on the youth population. Introduced in 2024, the betting tax has faced widespread criticism from stakeholders, including youth groups, betting companies, and economic analysts. Dr. Forson argues that the tax, which generates a relatively insignificant amount of GH¢50 million for the country, places undue pressure on an already financially strained youth population. The proposed abolition of the betting tax has sparked a national conversation, with some praising the move as a step in the right direction and others calling for alternative measures to address concerns associated with the betting industry. As Finance Minister, Dr. Forson’s policy direction will play a crucial role in shaping Ghana’s fiscal landscape amidst growing economic challenges. His commitment to abolishing the betting tax is seen as a significant step towards promoting financial inclusion and supporting the growth of the betting industry.
