Businesses Yet To Apply New VAT Rate | Business News

Some customers who spoke to the Daily Graphic stated that they would want to be responsible citizens by paying taxes for development projects. However, they called on the government to reconsider its decision and maintain the old VAT rate or possibly review the VAT rate downwards.

One of the shoppers, who only gave her name as Abena, said she didn't consider the VAT percentage when she bought an item. "I just buy what I have to buy and leave but it is unfortunate the prices are overwhelming in recent times".

Another customer, Jack, said "the prices were too high. We are pleading with the government to help us".
