KGL Group pays GH¢153 million in taxes to GRA

KGL Group of Companies, a leading indigenous Ghanaian conglomerate, has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and national development with the presentation of GH¢153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at a tax compliance event held at the GRA Head Office in Accra.

The presentation marks a significant milestone in the Group’s sustained contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and reflects its firm belief that tax compliance is not merely 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 Group’s philosophy of 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 added, “In 2025 alone, we 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 further noted that the Group’s contribution signals the growing capacity of indigenous Ghanaian enterprises to drive national progress.

“Ghanaian companies have the discipline, integrity, and capability to support the country’s development agenda while competing at the highest levels,” he stated.

In addition to its tax contribution, the Group continues to invest significantly in social impact through the KGL Foundation, committing over GH¢40 million to community development initiatives.

These efforts are complemented by major national sponsorships, including support for the senior national football team, the Black Stars, and the Regional U-17 Colts Championship.

The Group has also supported key infrastructure projects such as the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre, among other initiatives across the country.

The ceremony was facilitated by Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, whose leadership and commitment to strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation were instrumental in the engagement.

In his remarks, he commended KGL Group for its exemplary compliance, noting that such contributions are vital in enabling government to deliver on its development priorities and ensure that public resources translate into meaningful outcomes for citizens.

KGL Group also expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for continued advocacy for local ownership and the growth of indigenous enterprises.

The President’s call for a shift from transactional participation to transformational partnerships remains central to building a stronger, self-reliant economy.

KGL Group aligned itself with this vision and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting policies and practices that empower Ghanaian businesses to thrive and create lasting value.
