Prof. Isaac Boadi, Executive Director of the Institute for Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP) and Dean of the Faculty of Accounting and Finance, has cautioned that the government’s proposed 2025 tax reforms, aimed at alleviating financial pressures on households and businesses, could cost Ghana between GH¢5.5 billion and GH¢7.1 billion in lost revenue, based on recent projections.
