BUSY is the official 4G data sponsor of Breakfast Meeting
GITTA adjudged 4G LTE provider and IT Team of the Year, Busy, is the official 4G data sponsor for the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting held at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
The Graphic Business Breakfast Meeting is a quarterly event organised by the Graphic Communications Group Ltd (GCGL) for the business community to exchange ideas on the prospects of the economy.
The Finance Minister, Mr Seth Terkper; tax consultant, Mr Abdalah Ali-Nakyea and a Deputy Commissioner in charge of Policy and Programmes at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Mr Edward Gyamerah, presented papers on the topic, “The New Tax Law: Implications for the economy and businesses”.
Commenting on its association with the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Busy, Mr Praveen Sadalage, said “Busy is proud to be associated with the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting Series because our key focus is to empower businesses, individuals and our strategic partners to succeed.”
He said the as playing a very critical role in driving and growing the economy of which tax compliance was key.
“With our reliable 4G data connection, businesses can access up-to-date information on Ghana’s tax laws, acquire the requisite knowledge about their tax obligations, provide online training for their employees and promote their businesses,” he added.
Mr Sadalage indicated that if through Busy 4G, organisations could promote their businesses online, reduce cost and promote efficiency, then both these businesses and the economy stand to gain and their job would have been done.
With the new tax law, Income Tax Act 2015 (Act 896), a number of business activities which prior to the review were exempted from taxation have now been included while others that already attracted taxes will see some increases.
Both individuals and companies will be affected by the new law which has engendered complaints from Ghanaians.
The breakfast meeting, therefore, provided the platform for policy makers and members of the business community to discuss the implications on their bottom-line and how the effects could be mitigated.
The Graphic Breakfast Meeting, which also offered an avenue for networking and prospects for business partnerships, was attended by government officials and business executives of both local and multinational organisations.
