The former president promised to remove the tax on luxury vehicles if he gained electricity in 2020
The Association of Vehicle and Asset Dealers of Ghana has described the promise of former President John Dramani Mahama to abolish the luxury vehicle tax if his party wins the 2020 legislative elections.
Speaking to some drivers during his preparatory walk to Easter in Accra on Thursday, the former president said that the tax was poorly designed, which overloaded the ordinary driver.
"My government will remove the tax on luxury vehicles from 2021, if the Akufo-Addo government refuses to suspend or remove it," said former president Mahama.
Mr. Mahama pointed out that the new tax is a liability that does not generate as much revenue, wondering why the government would not do it.
Eric Kweku Boateng, president of the Vehicle and Assets Dealers Association, told Starr FM that the tax on luxury would collapse. His group therefore welcomed Mr. Mahama's promise in that regard.
"If you are hungry and someone says: my brother, I can feed you. So what are you doing? You have just accepted, "he said.
The administration headed by Akufo-Addo introduced the tax on luxury vehicles for the purpose of taxing motor vehicles of greater capacity.
Last month, the group organized a protest against the luxury vehicle tax in Accra to protest against the levy.
