According to her, a country like the United States of America who has its economy growing rapidly and successfully should never be compared to a hell hole like Ghana.
This was after a social media user slammed her over her insensitive assertions pertaining to the introduction of the digital taxation, dubbed e-levy.
According to the social media user, a country like the USA still needs taxes in order to improve the lives of its citizens.
@Efiaodo1 How much tax have you paid to the State in the last 5 years? The State needs money to undertake projects to uplift the living standards of the people. Have you visited NY lately to see what’s going on? 93 octane gas now around $5 per gallon, he wrote.
In response, Efia Odo schooled the netizen on how taxes are being paid in the States.
Efia Odo intimated that anytime she steps in the States and makes a purchase, she has indirectly paid taxes for buying an item and she didn’t necessarily need to work to make these payments but in Ghana, she is being made to pay taxes.
She also explained that when a citizen in the States files for a tax return with a tangible reason, he or she will get a return from the organization.
She wrote; Each time I step foot in America and make a purchase, I’ve paid tax on it. I haven’t worked in America since 2015 but I’ve been paying taxes in Ghana!And in America when you file for a tax return, you’ll get your return!! Don’t compare a working economy to this hell hole!
This comes shortly after the indecisive hudebate on social media following the government’s intentions to approve the e-levy taxation.
