In a TikTok video posted on December 22, 2025, @nourish.quench, a Food and Beverages businesswoman, broke down a government-backed opportunity many people likely did not know about.
She explained that eligible businesses could enjoy up to five years of tax exemption, easing the burden on startups and growing enterprises.
Seven business sectors qualify for tax exemptions
In the video, the lady outlined seven sectors under which business owners can apply for the tax exemption programme.
According to her, businesses operating in the following areas qualify:
- Manufacturing
- Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
- Agro-processing
- Energy Production
- Waste Processing
- Tourism and Creative Arts
- Horticulture and Medicinal Plants
She described the incentive as a rare opportunity, especially for young business owners.
Painting a vivid picture, she urged viewers to imagine running a business for five solid years without paying corporate tax aside from employee-related and withholding taxes.
“So if you’re a Ghanaian, below 35 years, and you run any of these businesses, you’re eligible to apply,” she explained.
Although the programme is not new, her message struck a chord as many, particularly young entrepreneurs, were unaware of its existence.
Sharing the information as part of her Christmas goodwill message, the TikToker jokingly added that she does not “gatekeep” valuable opportunities.
The video, by the time of reporting, had 3,664 likes and 175 comments.
