Value Added Tax in Africa The Ghana Experience

By Seth E. Terkper

The book provides a firsthand account of the country's turbulent journey with Value Added Tax-from the initial 1995 repeal following mass protests to its successful reintroduction and eventual status as a primary revenue driver. Terkper blends historical narrative with technical policy critique, examining legislative milestones like Act 870 and warning against modern "distortions" of the VAT system. It serves as both a political memoir and a practical blueprint for tax administration across the African continent.
