    The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has issued an apology to the public following former finance minister Mohammed Amin Adam’s claim that the previous government did not implement the betting tax.

    The NPP MP has explained that the comments made by the former finance minister were taken out of context due to miscommunication, which the party will address soon.

    In an interview with Lawson TV, Patrick Yaw Boamah emphasised that the former finance minister did not make an error, but rather, the communication of the issue was problematic.

    “There is an issue, and we will delve into it by explaining our position. I don’t speak for him, but I believe there was a communication gap, which I hope he will address in his engagement with the press. I apologise to the youth for the miscommunication.

    “We have betting, casinos, football bets, and more. The 10% withholding tax on gaming, often referred to as the betting tax, exists. However, the tax on winnings, which Amin Adam sought to explain, was never implemented,” he said.

    Background

    During the presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy on March 11, 2025, Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, announced that the 10% withholding tax on bet winnings would be cancelled upon parliamentary approval.

    Following this, Dr. Amin Adam addressed the media in Parliament, accusing the government of deceiving Ghanaians by abolishing something that was never implemented.

    “Ladies and Gentlemen, the betting tax that they said they had abolished, we never collected. We never implemented the betting tax, so to come and tell Ghanaians that you have abolished something that was never implemented is to deceive the people of Ghana,” he stated.
