We’ll protest on the streets if President Mahama removes Betting Tax – Institute of Community Sustainability

The Institute of Community Sustainability has strongly opposed the potential abolition of the betting tax by President John Dramani Mahama.

Their comment comes at a time when the Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, vowed to abolish the betting tax and the E-levy in his first budget when he’s approved.

Speaking before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday, January 13, Dr Forson argued that the current betting tax has failed to achieve its intended objectives and should be scrapped.

“I insist that the betting tax must be abolished, and as Finance Minister, I will abolish it in my first budget because it has failed,” Dr Forson declared.
