According to the actress, an attempt by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to take taxes from her and her colleagues in the movie industry is unfair and does not make any sense.
She was reacting to reports that she was accosted by some personnel from the Authority over the payment of tax.
Narrating what happened to Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty, she said officers from the GRA called her colleague actor Lilwin while they were on set, and informed them that they had to pay tax for every movie they shoot.
Incensed by the development, she said she told the GRA officials that they already pay for copyrights, therefore, they will not pay the tax

mercy every worker in ghana pay tax and once you are working you need to pay income tax. the reason wesley snipes and others in america went to jail was because of tax evasion. i dont like the approach by GRA but ask and understand why you need to pay tax
Mercy, we love you with your talent as an actress. We don't want you to be in jail. You need education on the need for you to pay tax on your income. How much do you earn in a year? What are your expenses and what is your profit or loss? When you file your taxes at the end of the year, and the government owns you, will you accept a refund? If that is YES, then be ready to pay tax.
MERCY please if you don't understand issues don't come out and disgrace your self.who do you think you are. you are not above the law. who cares if people are not buying your shoddy production.which money do you think the government to use to build your so called ...... and you don't want to pay tax.mercy be a citizen not spectator.Ghana IS WORKING AGAIN. folk.
mercy Asiedu and co , so all this while u people do not pay tax ? are you guys superior than any other Ghanaian, celebrity my fooooot , idioooot pay your tax.
Sham--e on GRA, what kind of crude way of collecting tax is that! Do you have to call people on phone and tell them come and pay tax or there is a procedure. Empty show of power by these GRA employees. This is very common in most institutions and establishments.
Teacher, doctors, nurses and drivers etc pay taxes on their income. Why do you think you must not pay tax. You don't pick and choose the tax you should pay.No wonder actors and actresses walk about like millionaires whilst a few government worker are burdened with tax. In fact everyone will pay his or her fair share. If you don't pay, they will auction your properties
Be ready to go to jail. Who should pay tax for you to enjoy.
