NDC leader John Mahama says if he is elected president, taxes on gambling will be one of the measures his government will review.
In March 2023, a law to tax lotteries and sports betting was approved.
Ten percent of all wins from lotteries and sports betting are withheld for taxes, as per the bill.
Since then, a lot of players have criticized the policy.
When asked if the tax would be eliminated during a meeting with young people at Techiman Timber Market and Techiman Magazine, Mr. Mahama, who was unable to state with certainty where he stood, replied that it would be examined.
“It is not just about taxes on betting; when we come to the government, we will look at the number of taxes imposed,” he said.
Currently, the former president is visiting the Bono East area as part of his “Building Ghana Tour.”
In the meantime, the NDC’s 2024 manifesto is anticipated to take into account the concerns expressed by voters during the campaign trip.
