New company emerges to boost tax collection

Accra, March 23, GNA- A new financial institution, christened Marimens Group, has emerged on the Ghanaian market, to help people to file their taxes and facilitate the country's bubbling macro-industry. The company, which was inaugurated in Accra, at the weekend, aims at educating entrepreneurs on record keeping, assist individuals and corporate organisations to invest and to come out with business proposals.

The business entity also runs Marimens Institute of Technology, where seminars and training programmes are organised for business managers and leaders. Mr Humphrey Mensah, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company, said in his inaugural address that the company, had the objective of establishing an assured management and technology consultancy, to serve the financial and business development needs of the macro economy.

"Today we are celebrating a milestone as well as another step forward in the Ghanaian community's effort to nurture a climate that encourages the use and appreciation of intellectualism, accounting, finance, construction, investment and information communication and technology."

Mr Mensah said Marimens was committed to provide stellar customer services devoid of bureaucracy. Mr Samuel Ayisi, Barrister at Law at the Bank of Ghana, who chaired the function, said the secret of a fruitful pension lied mainly on investments.

He observed that every worker who strives to block all revenue leakages, lead a modest life and cultivate the culture of saving is bound to enjoy a good pension. Mr Ayisi, who gave a lecture on Investment, noted that most Ghanaians spend money on useless things. He said any worker who spent more than he or she earned or was fond of borrowing money, was in the danger of begging during retirement. Mr Samuel Aryee, a Chartered Accountant and Head of Finance at the Adenta Municipal Assembly, also expressed the need for entrepreneurs to be meticulous about record keeping in order to ensure that their businesses are in line with their investment vision. 23 March 09
