KGL Group of Companies has reiterated its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and national development by paying GHS 153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The payment was presented during a tax compliance ceremony held at the GRA Head Office in Accra. The event underlined the Group’s continued contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and reinforced the company’s view that tax compliance is not only a legal requirement, but also a shared responsibility in building a resilient and sustainable economy.
Speaking at the ceremony, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, emphasized the Group’s philosophy of long-term value creation and accountability. He said, “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.”
Mr. Dadey also disclosed that in 2025 alone, the Group made total direct payments of GHS 350 million to the state, including GHS 180 million remitted to the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
He noted that these contributions reflect the growing capacity of indigenous Ghanaian enterprises to drive national development. According to him, local companies have the discipline, integrity, and capability to support the country’s development agenda while remaining competitive at the highest levels.
In addition to its tax obligations, KGL Group continues to invest in social impact through the KGL Foundation, which has committed over GHS 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.
Further investments include infrastructure projects such as the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre, among others.
The ceremony was facilitated by Dr Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, who commended KGL Group for its exemplary compliance and noted that such contributions are vital to strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation and supporting government’s development priorities.
KGL Group expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for his advocacy for local ownership and the growth of indigenous enterprises. The Group stated that it aligns with the President’s vision of moving from transactional participation to transformational partnerships in building a self-reliant and robust national economy.
