Ghana has introduced a new measure that will see a 10% tax applied to betting and lottery winnings.
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has outlined that this withholding tax will be automatically deducted at the point of payout for all betting, games, and lottery wins.
The new tax initiative has faced criticism from the younger generation in Ghana, who argue that betting and lottery winnings often serve as alternative income sources for the unemployed.
The introduction of the new tax has caused an uproar in the country and users have criticized the government.
A section of Ghanaians indicated that the government should create jobs to reduce the interest of the youth in making money through betting.
