Business News of Wednesday, 28 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minister for Communication and digitalisation, Ursula Owusu Ekuful has stated that the government is putting measures in place to properly tax digital transactions in the country. Speaking on Ekosiisen on Accra-based Asempa FM, the minister noted that, it is time the country focuses its attention on taxing digital transactions to rope in some revenue to the state. The traditional sources of revenue that the government gets from Communication Services Tax is going down, the definition of what a communication tax is, needs to be reviewed in my opinion, because of the evolution of technology. "The traditional voice review is also going down because today, a lot of people are using data platforms. For voice communication, hence the need to have a tax policy that can be rolled out on digital transactions platforms,” she said.
