Ato Forson Ghana Tax Compliance Strategy

Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Finance Minister-Designate, has outlined strategic measures aimed at improving the nation’s revenue collection.

The plan aims to address fiscal challenges while maintaining fairness for taxpayers.

Forson’s vision has sparked both praise and debate, with some hailing it as innovative while others question its feasibility.

His confirmation process remains ongoing as part of President John Mahama’s cabinet formation.

The move signals a broader effort to reshape Ghana’s financial policies under President John Mahama’s administration.
