The Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and his Deputy, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, have publicly filed their annual tax returns to promote voluntary compliance and strengthen public trust.
“We did so for a simple reason: leadership must be demonstrated, not declared,” Dr. Forson said.
He commended Ghanaian taxpayers for their contribution to national development and stressed that tax compliance is both a civic duty and a moral responsibility.
