Spare parts dealers in Abossey Okai have voiced their dissatisfaction with the government, citing concerns about the adverse impact of newly implemented taxes on their businesses. This sentiment comes as a disappointment to the dealers, who had previously viewed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government as being business-friendly, only to witness what they describe as detrimental taxation measures.
The dealers are urging the government to prioritize the establishment of a stable business environment in order to support economic growth. One dealer expressed frustration, stating, "The country and everything in it are messed up, and everything has changed, right down to the food we eat. Everything is being taxed, and we don’t see what the tax is being used for. I am paying GH¢6,000 for a container, and a part I used to sell for GH¢5 is now GH¢20."
Another dealer highlighted the significant price increases in the automotive market, saying, "Some two years ago, we were selling Toyota Vitz for GH¢35,000, but it is now selling for GH¢70,000, and the cost of spare parts has also shot up due to high import duties and the unstable exchange rates, and all we look forward to is voting this government out."
These expressions of discontent from the spare parts dealers underscore the challenges faced by businesses in the current economic climate. It is evident that there is a pressing need for the government to address these concerns and work towards creating a more conducive environment for business growth and development. As such, it is imperative for policymakers to engage in dialogue with industry stakeholders to find sustainable solutions that will alleviate the burden of excessive taxation and promote a thriving business landscape.
