Cassiel Ato Forson has proposed a new incentive system that would allow individual tax centres to retain a percentage of the revenue they collect to motivate staff and enhance working conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal was made during his visit to the Kinbu Tax Service Centre, part of his nationwide engagements with frontline revenue officers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Forson said the initiative is aimed at boosting morale and strengthening the efficiency of Ghana\u2019s revenue administration.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the retained funds \u201cwould be used by the specific tax centres to upgrade facilities and address the logistical and welfare needs of their staff\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201ca motivated and well-resourced workforce is essential to delivering the level of revenue mobilisation the country urgently requires.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
