Abossey Okai spare parts sellers are complaining to the government because they believe that the recently imposed levies would negatively affect their company.
They were disappointed because they thought the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration would be more business-friendly, but instead they saw what they consider to be unfair tax policies.
In order to promote economic growth, the dealers implored the government to provide a stable business climate.
“The country and everything in it are messed up, and everything has changed, right down to the food we eat. Everything is being taxed, and we don’t see what the tax is being used for. I am paying GH¢6,000 for a container, and a part I used to sell for GH¢5 is now GH¢20,” one spare parts dealer said.
“Some two years ago, we were selling Toyota Vitz for GH¢35,000, but it is now selling for GH¢70,000, and the cost of spare parts has also shot up due to high import duties and the unstable exchange rates, and all we look forward to is voting this government out,” another dealer stated.
