Emphasising the importance of domestic revenue mobilisation to national development across the world, Vice President Bawumia stated:

“All over the world, taxation is the main tool countries rely on to mobilize revenue to develop their economies and provide services to their people.  Perhaps least talked about and also less understood by many of us is that whatever the advanced countries send to us as aid is the result of their own ability to mobilize domestic resources. What we take for granted as aid resources, is the result of their capacity to raise taxes, especially income tax. As we embark on this journey of Ghana Beyond Aid, it is imperative for us to take rigorous and decisive steps to raise enough income tax.”
