Digital marketer and blogger Barimah Amoaning Samuel, aka Entamoty, criticized content creators for inflating their earnings, suggesting it as a reason for Ghana Revenue Authority's consideration of taxing YouTubers and influencers.
He highlighted that many claim exaggerated figures to boost their image and bargaining power.
Entamoty refuted claims of creators building mansions from their earnings, estimating only 5% make significant income.
He urged the government to engage with creators to understand their industry better instead of solely focusing on taxation.
The discussion arose after YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon expressed concerns over the government's taxation plans, fearing reduced earnings for creators.
