Owners of luxury vehicles with engine capacities of 3 litres or more will now pay an annual tax on their vehicles starting August 1, 2018, according to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
A couple of weeks ago, Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta during the presentation of the Mid-year Budget Review in Parliament, indicated that as part of government’s efforts to bridge the gap in revenue, there is going to be the introduction of luxury vehicle tax.
[ads1]Vehicles with engine capacities of 3.0 – 3.5 litres will attract an annual tax of 1,000 Ghana cedis; those with engine capacities of 3.6 – 4.0 litres will pay 1,500 cedis annually; while 4.1 litres and above are to pay an annual tax of 2000 Ghana cedis.
