The tobacco tax score in Ghana remained constant from 2014 to 2020, at 0.75 points out of five. According to the source, the country scored below the average of countries in its region and income group as well as the global average.
According to the source, the scorecard assesses the performance of cigarette tax policies in 160 countries. It scores countries on a five-point scale, with four scoring components, namely cigarette price, changes in affordability, price tax share, and tax structure.
It adds that the highest score of 5 points is awarded to countries that either have a uniform specific tax with automatic adjustment or a mixed system with greater share of specific tax, automatically adjusting the specific component, the retail price as the base for the ad valorem component, and a minimum tax which would lift the prices of economy brands.
