Former Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has cleared the air on earlier claims made by former Finance Minister Amin Adam regarding the implementation of the betting tax under the NPP government.

The controversial tax, which has been scrapped by the government of Ghana, was introduced under the erstwhile NPP administration, with 10% of bet stakers” returns being deducted at source on all sports betting platforms.

During a press conference shortly after the presentation of the 2025 Budget in Parliament by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on Tuesday, March 11, Dr. Amin Adam stated, “Betting tax that they said they have abolished, we never collected betting tax.”

In an interview with yfmghana.com’s Kobina Baidoo, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah clarified that the former Finance Minister’s statement was in reference to the lottery tax under the National Lottery Authority (NLA), not the 10% withholding tax on betting, popularly known as ‘betting tax.’

“The betting tax Dr. Amin Adam was referring to was not what people in Ghana know as betting tax. The betting tax Dr. Amin Adam was talking about was the one with NLA under the Ministry of Finance and not the other under the Gaming Commission,” he clarified.
