Tax revenue generation remains one of the most central activities of any nation-state. The state collects taxes and efficiently redistribute the resources as part of its allocation function.

Our analysis focuses on a historical examination of Ghana’s economy and tax structures, assessment of the initial tax policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the role of tax policy in supporting recovery from the pandemic.
