Soon, all “commercial activities” of churches will be taxed, Deputy Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame has said.
At a roundtable organised by the Kingdom Equip Network on Thursday, 23 November, Mr Dame told Starr FM that: “…The legal regime now provides for the taxation of activities of churches which essentially bother on business.”
“It is only in respect of activities which are charitable that churches are exempted from taxation,” he explained.
In his estimation, “…even the current law in the country…warrants that we tax them [churches] for activities which are commercial or bother on trading or business.”

The money in the system is all in 5he hands of the one man churches, it's long overdue, it's time they contributes to the country building and stop riding in luxurious cars and houses with the money from the innocent poor man,who the government turn to pay for they school bills and fees, we need to think about the progress of the country.
This is a good idea
This is long overdue... Some of them are actually engaged in money grabing businesses and they make more money on monthly basis than some of the banks around.
PLEASE ATABILL YOU HAVE TO SHOW RESPECT AND DIGNITY TO THE PRESIDENT THE FIRST GENTLEMAN OF THE LAND; NANA ADDO'S NAME ON THIS SITE OKAY. IS THE PRESIDENT A TAXMAN? RESPECT HIM AS SUCH ***barred word***. ARE YOU ONE OF THE CORRUPT PEOPLE IN GHANA WITH NDC ONAPO TUIII MIND? GO AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY GHANAIAN TO PAY TAX FOR JOB, WORK, BUSINESS AND EVERY SOURCE OF INCOME OR REVENUE HE OR SHE EARNS OR MAKE.I REST MY COMMENT.
Tax Dr. Mensah Otabil first. He owns businesses all over the place yet pays no tax into state coffers. He charges high fees at his universities and gives Ghana nothing. Chase him for me please. He even charges for breakthroughs and special blessings. Tax him on all those activities please. Thank you Nana Addo.
Very good move..tax them !!!
