The Ghana Medical Association has threatened to go on strike if the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) decides to surcharge them as part of a new tax system.
The GMA claims the GRA’s decision is contained in a letter that it has yet to release.
In response, the GMA stated that asking them to pay additional taxes is unfair because all members pay income taxes.
Before people pay their dues, already they would have been taxed right from the source before even the dues come to us. We don’t collect the dues by ourselves, Dr. Frank Serebour the President of GMA said.
“It is as if they are now looking at organisations and associations and so forth.”
“We won’t sit down to allow anybody, whether it is a government agency or the government itself, to collapse the association. That will not happen under my watch.”
“If anything at all, the first point was engagement. If something like that is going to happen, somebody should be engaging and not write that kind of letter.”
