Rent tax revenue can help finance affordable, social housing – Rent Commissioner

Mr Opoku said the scale of rental activity across the country presents government with an opportunity to raise significant revenue if rent tax collection is properly enforced.

He maintained that effective mobilisation of rent tax revenue could help government generate the resources needed to tackle some of the country’s housing challenges.

Mr Opoku further stressed the need for rent taxation to become a national issue, particularly because of its potential to contribute to government revenue and housing development.
