According to him, the construction of roads, schools, hospitals and other developmental projects can only come to fruition if Ghanaians commit to paying their taxes. Yofi Grant furthered that government’s inability to collect taxes has led to inadequacy in revenue generation. “Indeed, taxes play a monumental role for government’s developmental goals in transforming societies..the only true business of government is to ensure that first, they create the environment for growth and then collect the taxes. And through taxes, revenues are generated to meet budgetary demands including financing government and public projects as well as making the business environment conducive for economic growth,” he said at the CEO's breakfast meeting held in Accra on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. He made these remarks while speaking on the theme, “Understanding Ghana’s taxes and exemptions regime towards increasing investor confidence in the business environment.”
