Auto parts dealers in Accra are pleading with government to consider a reduction in duties that are levied on imported auto parts at the entry points.
Some traders at Abbossey Okai disclosed to The Ghanaauto.com, that the heavy taxes accounts for the high prices of auto parts on the market and that has resulted in a drop in sales as potential clients cannot cope with the situation.
According to some of those interviewed, there are instances that their goods will have to remain at the ports for long periods because the levies are too much to pay.
“We find it difficult raising funds to clear the goods which results in more rent charges which are eventually passed on to consumers.
“We are appealing to government to come to their aid by way of reducing the taxes levied on imported spare parts,” said one trader.
Another trader said: “We are appealing to the Minister of Trade to come to our aid this year, otherwise our business will stagnate and the repercussions will be worrying.”
