The Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, is appealing to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to review its almost 20% tax levied the Association.
And likening it to the entertainment industry, where a flat 3% VAT rate is levied, the GFA boss is appealing for a reduction of the tax rate for the football governing body, which is being levied at 17.5%.
He stated at the 30th GFA Ordinary Congress in Prampram (Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence) recently that a reduction in their taxation will offer clubs opportunities to develop their capacities.
The GFA boss said, “Football clubs are charged 17.5% VAT, while other industries such as the entertainment industry pay a flat 3% VAT rate.”
He added, “We appeal for football clubs such like the entertainment industry to be levied 3% VAT to give the clubs opportunities to build their capacities.”
The appeal is one of several human intervention policies rolled by the current GFA administration to empower football clubs.
