According to Hon Atikpo, Gulf Energy is committed to supporting the efforts of government in transforming the economy especially in the area of Job Creation and it is very important that businesses that benefit from the Ghanaian space do more in helping government achieves its developmental commitments by paying their taxes.
“One of the biggest challenges of any government the world over is the raising of capital for all kinds of developmental purposes. Now if the environment is great for a business to thrive, it is only fair that businesses that are doing well support governments efforts at raising capital from several sources including our taxes.
At Gulf Energy, we have contributed significantly to Governments kitty over the years and we believe that if all corporate entities do more in the payment of their taxes, which is a statutory obligation, government would be in the position to provide the much needed infrastructure and other support services that can positively impact the economy.”
He further added that though the Oil industry has had its challenges over the years with pricing and geopolitical issues, the industry in Ghana was competing on a strong footing and would confidently see a transformation over time following government’s efforts to improving the sector.
