*ANY INCREASE IN VAT WILL  BE SUICIDAL IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS*

Coalition On Democratic Governance has learnt with shock the intention of the  government to increase Tax in the coming days.

We are astonished  to see a  daily increase in prices of goods and services
Value Added Tax (VAT)
is a broadly based consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services. It applies more or less to all goods and services that are bought and sold for use or consumption.

From all indications,the government is to raise the rate of tax from 17.5% -21% which is about 4.5% increment.It appears the government of the day has proven it's insensitivity to the plight of Ghanaians.

Gabby  Asare -Otchere Darko,a member of the ruling  government posted on the Facebook wall ''will you support a VAT increase to keep your light on,your secondary school filled,your school kids fed,your street clean,your street safe,young graduate employed and a descent affordable homes built for working families''

The above statement was made by a leading member of the NPP who thought Ghanaians have forgotten so soon about promises they made with respect to taxes on goods and services

The NPP is bent on exploiting Ghanaians to enrich themselves and their families which shall be resisted vehemently by the Coalition On Democratic Governance

Coalition On Democratic Governance shall hold the government responsible since they never told Ghanaians that,increment in  VAT is what they will use to Keep our lights on,Secondary Schools filled,Our School Kids fed etc. in the run up to the 2016 election

In conclusion,the Coalition on Democratic Governance shall lead Ghanaians to demonstrate to the general public by sleeping on the street should such a suicidal killer tax is introduce.

Government in its budget review, plans to hike the rate of tax by as much as from 17.5% to 21.5%. In as much as no formal announcement has been made to this effect, we know there is a mid year budget review coming up and leading members of both party and government have in recent times been making statements ostensibly to prepare the minds of Ghanaians to accept these obnoxious, wicked and burdensome tax policies to be imposed on an already suffering population and a suffocating business environment. It must be noted that, Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax that appears to punish the consumer for his consumption behavior in government's quest to raise tax...
