What We Do

Community workshops, school and campus talks, radio and social-media explainers, and plain-language guides on taxes such as PAYE, VAT and the levies Ghanaians pay every day. We help people understand what they owe, what they are entitled to and how to engage the revenue authorities with confidence.

Each year we analyse the national Budget Statement, the mid-year review and the Auditor-General’s reports, and publish simple briefings on what they mean for households and businesses. We track major projects and highlight waste, leakage and value-for-money concerns.

We develop evidence-based proposals for a tax system that is broad-based, simple, predictable and fair — one that encourages compliance and investment. We share our findings with Parliament, ministries, the Ghana Revenue Authority, the media and development partners.

Practical guidance for individuals and small businesses who feel they have been treated unfairly — from understanding an assessment to knowing how the objection and appeal process works. We point people to the right channels and advocate for a stronger taxpayers’ charter.

Small enterprises and informal workers are the backbone of Ghana’s economy. We promote simple filing, fair presumptive regimes and better services so that formalising a business is rewarding rather than risky.

Through the World Taxpayers Associations network we learn from taxpayer movements around the world and bring African experiences to global debates on taxation, public expenditure and economic development.
