Government has announced that it will not introduce any new taxes in the 2027 fiscal year as part of efforts to ease the financial burden on households and create a favourable environment for businesses to grow.
The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, disclosed this while presenting the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
He said government had not proposed any new tax measures for the 2027 fiscal year, adding that the focus would instead be on improving tax compliance, broadening the tax base and strengthening revenue administration to meet revenue targets.
Ato Forson explained that the approach was intended to give families breathing space while allowing businesses to expand their operations.
He further indicated that government would maintain fiscal discipline while directing more resources towards capital investment and productive sectors of the economy.
