Sarkodie has shared his opinion on the controversial E-levy Bill which is being debated in Parliament.
Responding to a fan who asked for his thoughts on the issue, the rapper indicated that taxes are only good if taxpayers can attest to opportunities and benefits it provides them.
He said, unlike, other countries where taxes are invested in policies and programmes which helps tax payers to earn more money, the situation is different in Ghana, as the introduction of various taxes have not resulted in the improvement of living standards.
“When you broke, a harmless “good morning ” can sound like a tease,” he stated.

I pay a lot of taxes outside and I don’t complain because I’m using avenues they made available to make 💰,( it’s only right ) it’s not same here and that’s why we complain not because the “E Levy” is bad. When you broke, a harmless “good morning ” can sound like a tease.
Despite widespread criticism of the E-levy, proposed by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, the government argues that the tax will be an efficient means to raise the country’s tax-to-GDP ratio from 13 percent to a target of 16 percent or higher.
