Former Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam has disclosed that the much-debated betting tax was never actually implemented or collected under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
His statement comes amid widespread public discourse on tax policies and misconceptions about its supposed abolition.
According to Adam, while the tax was introduced in policy discussions, it was never enforced, rendering arguments about its removal irrelevant.
This revelation has sparked reactions from the public, with some questioning the government’s communication on fiscal matters.
Critics argue that the confusion surrounding the betting tax reflects broader concerns about transparency and accountability in Ghana’s tax administration.
Supporters, however, believe that clarifying the issue helps dispel misinformation and build trust in government policies.
Moving forward, analysts suggest that clear and timely communication will be crucial in preventing similar misunderstandings in future tax policies.
