The minister for communications and digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has stated that any Ghanaian who can transfer over GH¢100 through mobile money is not poor. According to her, if you can send more than GH¢100 then you definitely must be taxed.
Her comments come after the minister of finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, announced the introduction of a 1.7% phone transactions levy payable by mobile money users per transaction above GH¢100.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on Thursday, November 18, 2021, the communications minister explained why it is time to tax Ghanaians.
She stated that any person sending money that is above GH¢100 to another cannot be considered to be poor because that amount is big enough, therefore, that person must be taxed.
