The study used the University Hospital in Legon as a case study to look at why public employees do not take advantage of Ghana's tax relief plan and the obstacles that come with it. The mixed method approach was used, which included both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Four (4) purposively selected employees of the Ghana Revenue Authority were also questioned. Questionnaires were issued to and responses gathered from 174 staff members of the University Hospital, Legon, who were chosen using stratified random sampling and the simple random sampling methods.
The majority of respondents had little understanding or information about Ghana's tax relief plan, which is partly due to the Ghana Revenue Authority's ineffective seminars in raising public awareness about the system's advantages to Ghanaian taxpayers. Furthermore, cumbersome procedures or processes, as well as a lack of understanding of how to apply, are important reasons why tax reliefs are not taken advantage of. Others felt that discussing tax reliefs was unnecessary since they lacked knowledge about their existence, advantages, and how to obtain them. The research advised that rigorous and frequent symposiums be held to educate the public on the benefits of employing tax reliefs, with this information being disseminated throughout Ghana's numerous social welfare ministries and physically challenged groups. The report also advised that the Ghana Revenue Authority put in place a more simple application procedure and forms to reduce the discouraging aspect that taxpayers face whenever tax reliefs and their application are mentioned.
