The KGL Group of Companies has presented GH¢153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at a tax compliance event held at the Authority’s head office in Accra.
The presentation marks a significant milestone in the Group’s contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and reflects its position that tax compliance is not only a statutory obligation but a shared responsibility in building a resilient and sustainable economy.
Speaking at the event, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, underscored the company’s commitment to long-term value creation and responsible corporate citizenship.
“At KGL, we create value, and we share that value responsibly. Paying tax is not a burden; it is our contribution from what we have achieved as a business operating in this country. It is how we give back to the community that makes our success possible,” he said.
He disclosed that in 2025 alone, the Group made a total of GH¢350 million in direct payments to the state, out of which GH¢180 million was remitted to the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
“These are responsibilities we take seriously and wholeheartedly embrace,” he added.
Mr. Dadey noted that the Group’s contribution highlights the growing capacity of indigenous Ghanaian enterprises to drive national development.
“Ghanaian companies have the discipline, integrity and capability to support the country’s development agenda while competing at the highest levels,” he said.
Beyond tax contributions, the Group continues to invest in social impact through the KGL Foundation, committing over GH¢40 million to community development initiatives.
These efforts are complemented by national sponsorships, including support for the senior national football team, the Black Stars, and the Regional U-17 Colts Championship, as well as infrastructure projects such as the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre.
The ceremony was facilitated by Dr Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, who commended KGL Group for its compliance and contribution to domestic revenue mobilisation.
He noted that such contributions are critical in enabling government to deliver on development priorities and ensure that public resources translate into meaningful outcomes for citizens.
KGL Group also expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for his continued advocacy for local ownership and the growth of indigenous enterprises.
The Group said it aligns with the President’s vision of shifting from transactional participation to transformational partnerships, aimed at building a stronger and more self-reliant economy.
