Telecommunication companies in Ghana have resolved to stop the upfront deductions of the Communications Service Tax (CST).
This new development was announced in a statement issued by the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications signed by its Chief Executive officer Kenneth Ashigbey.
According to the Chamber, the telcos will rather apply the tax through a tariff adjustment programme which will take effect on November 26, 2019.
The Chamber explained that despite the arrangement GRA will still calculate and account for the CST as an upfront charge.
The Chamber also decided to give extra value to reward customers for their loyalty.
The statement added that subsequently, mobile operators will notify their customers individually in the ensuing days
