The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications has appealed to the government to have a second look at taxes imposed on telecommunication companies.

The cumulative sum of taxes, fees, levies and other payments remitted and gathered by the telecommunications sector for the government of Ghana once again increased significantly by over 50% in the year 2022. From GH¢ 4.02 billion paid in 2021, the industry paid a total of GH¢ 6.07 billion in taxes and other payments to government in 2022.

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has been honored with two prestigious awards at the 8th Africa Digital Economy Awards (ADEA), held recently in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), in partnership with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), is providing basic computer skills training for visually impaired persons to enable them to mainstream them into the digital economy.
