  • The controversial withholding tax on all gaming earnings will be abolished by the government, the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced.

The Finance Minister of Ghana, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has confirmed the abolition of the 10% betting tax as part of the 2025 Budget. This decision comes in response to widespread public discontent and legal challenges regarding the tax, which was initially introduced to broaden the tax base and generate additional revenue. The minister emphasized that the government is committed to addressing the concerns of the youth and other stakeholders, aiming to foster a more inclusive and fair taxation system. This move is expected to alleviate the financial burden on bettors and potentially encourage more participation in the betting industry.
