Ride-hailing app Uber will from 8th May increase its fares by 21.9% as part of the requirements to comply with the tax laws in Ghana. The 21.9% tax will show on the payments portal of every passenger who uses Uber services for commuting. Uber will be required to remit the vat charged to the government of Ghana through the Ghana Revenue Authority.
