The visionary and quintessential leader, H.E. John Dramani Mahama has proposed a private sector tax initiative plan aimed at boosting economic growth and creating jobs in the country when elected as president in the December 7, polls.

The plan includes measures such as reducing corporate tax rates for small and medium-sized enterprises, providing tax incentives for businesses that create jobs, and simplifying the tax system to make it easier for businesses to comply with regulations.

Mahama’s plan also includes measures to support the growth of key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology.
