The KGL Group, has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and national development with the payment of GH¢153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The presentation was made during a tax compliance ceremony held at the GRA Head Office in Accra.
The event marks a significant milestone in the Group’s sustained contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and underscores its position that tax compliance is not merely a statutory obligation but a shared responsibility in building a resilient and sustainable economy.
Speaking at the ceremony, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, emphasised the organisation’s philosophy of long-term value creation and accountability. “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 stated.
He further disclosed that in 2025 alone, the Group made total direct payments of GH¢350 million to the state, including GH¢180 million 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 contributions reflect the growing capacity of indigenous Ghanaian enterprises to drive national development. He observed that local companies possess the discipline, integrity, and capability to support the country’s development agenda while remaining competitive at the highest levels.
Receiving the payment, the Commissioner-General of the GRA, Mr. Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, expressed appreciation to Mr. Dadey and KGL Group for upholding their civic duty. He noted that such voluntary compliance should serve as an example to other companies, as it contributes to building the Ghana we all aspire to.
Beyond its tax contributions, KGL Group continues to invest in social impact initiatives through the KGL Foundation, committing over GH¢40 million to community development projects. The Group also supports major national initiatives, including sponsorship of the senior national football team, the Black Stars, and the Regional U-17 Colts Championship.
Additional investments include infrastructure projects such as the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre, among others.
