<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The government has been urged to repeal the recently enacted 10% gambling tax by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Wing.</strong></p>



<p>On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, a 10% withholding tax on all gross gains from gambling, lotteries, and other games of chance went into effect.</p>



<p>This came after the Income Tax (Amendment) (No. 2) Act of 2023 (Act 1094) was passed.</p>



<p>National Youth Organiser of the NDC, in a statement, called the policy &#8220;burdensome and insensitive&#8221; to Ghana&#8217;s youth and promised a number of moves to have it repealed.</p>



<p>&#8220;We shall make sure our voices are heard and demand that this CORRUPT Akufo-Addo be removed through agitations, marches, advocacy, and civic engagements. Opare Addo stated that the Bawumia Government reversed its judgment.</p>

<p>On August 15, 2023, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) implemented a new tax on winnings from lotteries, gambling, and other games of chance.</p>



<p>It stated that domestic competitors will be subject to the 10% tax on all winnings.</p>



<p>In addition, a 20% tax on profits will be levied against betting companies doing business in the nation.</p>



<p>This tax measure is a component of the government&#8217;s larger plan to increase domestic income and the tax base.</p>
