Despite the current tax environment, Finance Minister Mohammed Dr. Amin Adam has urged the French business community to reconsider relocating their operations from Ghana.
The Minister stated that efforts are being made to reduce undue pressure and alleged harassment by some Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) officials in order to create a more favourable business climate for foreign investors.
He made the remarks during an appearance before members of the French Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking at the Annual Cocktail event with the French business community and the launch of the France-Ghana Economic Report 2023-2024 on Friday at the French Ambassador’s residence in Accra, the Minister asked the French businesses to remain patient and committed to Ghana, highlighting government initiatives to support and sustain foreign investment.
“I want to appeal to you to continue to stay in Ghana because we are addressing all the issues that you have raised with me. Issues relating to taxes and harassment of businesses by tax collectors, you will notice have been resolved.
“We’ve had to withdraw all the tax collectors who were allegedly harassing businesses from those centres of operation, and so you won’t see them anymore,” he said.
