This is so because the leaders we choose are not business oriented so all they know is to go for loans from IMF, China etc to develop the country. They are given this tax system as the solution to generate revenue so that the government do not build state companies like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah did which will bring big revenue to run the country. This system is to keep us poor whiles taxes are waved off for these private companies from foreigners and justified that the private companies need more money to employ more people. Our leaders do not think of how low these private companies pay Ghanaians. sometimes not paying SSNIT too. They only export raw materials for low revenue and import almost everything loses money. Private sector is so wicked because there are no state competitors to give the citizens better options. These leaders say government can not employ everyone as an excuse without government creating any state companies but want the private sector to do that and take the profits to their homes in Ghana and foreign lands.
Herrr the same thing happened on my birthday,August this year we went to Breakfast to Breakfast mostly known as B2B we finish eating wey we do calculation after they bright the bill it was more than our order,our other was 850 cedis but when the bill came it was 1000 and what’s funny is that they didn’t explain anything to us oo.So we were asking the waiters and they weee like we need to pay this and this and what even made me angry was in the bill there was waiter fee I was like wtf why should need to pay the waiter we had the argument for some time but we paid and went home since that day I haven’t stepped there
What’s funny is even the waiter you need to tip them by force because it’s in the bill list I was like ahh I come buy my food from your restaurant so you want me to serve myself or what.?
As Canadians, we complain about taxes all the time, but seeing this video has made me realise we have it way better. I’m very glad to be living in my country🥲
😂😂 bro the taxes dierrr crazy ohhh... Cuz of that I only go to the mall to buy blue skies. Because the prices of goods now at the malls are expensive and these taxes too come add... Them they kill us from all angles 😂😂
Getfund is used to support education in the country. Some shs buses and scholarship and some buildings were financed by it, so getfund dey hia mmom but we for see the work
Honestly in the US our income is taxed before we receive our paycheck. Taxes are paid for services and food especially if it is not raw food materials. For example, some cities make you pay taxes for soda/juice but no taxes on fruits.
12:23 😂😂 Me first thing in the morning I’m at my junction Sis Julie waakye. Waakye Ghc8, macaroni Ghc3 and Egg GHc4 I pay in cash no restaurant no tax no e-levy 😂😂😂

@@mercyappianimaa5575 It like it pain you paa to pay for that drink😁😁 Charle Get some waakye or Hausa koko at the junction and your day is good and it even good at my side I have no girlfriend now like she’ll ask me to take her out that she won’t even like some chop bar oo she’ll request this type of restaurant in this economy 😂😂 madam some chop bar bi at madina corner if you won’t go then that is it 😂😂😂
Scanty, VAT goes to GRA. You asked about the value added. The value added is the raw food materials converted into cooked food, the nice ambience, music and others. VAT is charged on the value added to the original product. GETFUND is taken for education. It is given to most of the schools in Ghana for infrastructure development. I suggest you do some research on these before you comment on them. However, I agree with you. Some of the taxes are nuisance. And VAT is even tax on tax. You are taxed twice on VAT. But we don’t see what they use the money for.
Scanty i understand but sometimes on issues like this, bring in experts, tourism tax is levied other than tourism tp generate revenue to subsidize tourism in Ghana
I bore yesterday as I went to a restaurant at East Legon to chop just Kenkey and fish. The fish was now selling at 50 cedis. I did not know whether it is a whale or shrimp. But just a normal red fish
So why don’t they add everything to the price of the food instead of telling you your order is 200 cedis but the bring your receipt and the price is different it’s not right. What of if your money is exactly the price of your order. Wat will they do
What I don’t understand is, why is VAT a percent of subtotal + taxes? It is like being taxed on taxes. Shouldn’t VAT be a percent of subtotal? All receipts shown, that VAT was added after taxes. Why is it that way?
I'm not doing politics here but mind you that after all this then NPP will be saying Ghanaians are ungrateful to NPP administration. My question is ,after all this plus other issues you expect the Ghanaian citizens to do what exactly?
See, do your research and don’t talk plenty restaurants all over the world charge what they deem fit. In Uk they are even thinking of charging for the table cloth and napkins you will use because they must find a way to recoup the taxes government is imposing on them. She needs to star complaint from the UK.
I was in Takoradi recently and I wanted to cut down my hair n my friend recommended Takoradi mall barber shop. His wife just shouted “eiii do you want to pay tax on your haircut”? 😂
The developed countries even don’t pay this crazy taxes as you are claiming. Ontario has one of highest tax rate in North America which just around 13%. What Ghanaian is paying is crazy of about 35%. That’s what happens when IMF is controlling your economy.
Big man be like they only do that when they take reference shots from the story (video) just to give an indication as to what is causing the expression (facial contortion) of the person on the thumbnail.
As if you people don't know, now that there's a change power then all of you are talking about it but formally you guys are all voiceless or you need someone from outside to come and tell you?
Everyday NPP and NDC so the average Ghanaian cannot express their grievances again. Stop talking like that, you’re ruining the country with your mindset. Black man, black sense!
The “power” has changed but these are ongoing issues. Whether NPP or NDC it’s still an issue. These parties you want to die for don’t even give an f about you! You’re here typing trash when you’re hungry and poor and you wouldn’t let them say it too.
It is sad people from the diaspora complain of things in Ghana but comply peacefully in the foreign land. Please do a critical analysis of the tax and you will understand. We like making noise about things in our beloved country. 1. Who should resource NCCE to educate the vendors on personal hygiene, environmental safe etc. 2. Who should resource the Tourism center to supervise and ensure the services she is enjoying is provided peaceful. The long and short is that, when you cook in your house nobody tax you. If you hate these taxes, kindly do things on your own. Once you subscribe to services in the public then be ready to resource those who are to monitor, supervise etc. The issue should be what is the money used for but not this type of whining.
People would peacefully pay the money in those country’s because those countries have held them down and given them opportunities! Someone said, I’m loyal to whatever country treats me right and makes me comfortable ! Those taxes are also being used for development everyday. People also get back those taxes at the end of the year from a tax refund! Oh and they are being paid well so the taxes are not a big deal but in Ghana they don’t pay well but they’re taxing like crazy and spending the tax money too. Your comment doesn’t make any sense sorry to say. I could give you a plethora of reasons why you’re wrong for saying that! If people do things on their own or “cook in their homes” as you say you’ll be the ones complaining that the economy is tanking because a lot of restaurants and people will be put out of jobs. No more waiters, restaurants, cooks! There would be a surge in unemployment than it already is! So it doesn’t make sense !
"What does education have to do with my dessert" made my day!!

My mother went to buy Hisense air conditioner,and the total tax on that particular ac was gh500 hmmm Ghana 🇬🇭
The levy dey kill me
Here in Europe, the taxes are the only natural resources they have 😂😂😂.
But the results are remarkable. Not like that of Ghana

Why is VAT on food. This is so wrong
At Melcom, it's bad o. You can't budget when going there.
What’s funny is even the waiter you need to tip them by force because it’s in the bill list I was like ahh I come buy my food from your restaurant so you want me to serve myself or what.?
Since when did Ghana have a tipping system at restaurants?😕
Your TV saf you dey watch kraa dem won tax am😂😢
As Canadians, we complain about taxes all the time, but seeing this video has made me realise we have it way better. I’m very glad to be living in my country🥲
at least here, they give you part of your money back every year🥲
You go outside and VAT is already factored into cost but in Ghana you still pay VAT again at the customer end.
This is the country we live in so sad.

Honestly in the US our income is taxed before we receive our paycheck. Taxes are paid for services and food especially if it is not raw food materials. For example, some cities make you pay taxes for soda/juice but no taxes on fruits.
