Earlier, actress Yvonne Nelson also expressed concern over the implementation of the E-Levy. She mentioned that the president, Akufo-Addo \u201clured Ghanaians\u201d with \u201cbig English\u201d during the election campaign and appears to have failed voters who had the conviction that he was very much concerned about addressing the plights of the ordinary Ghanaian and making life better.<\/p>\n

The government of Ghana rolled out the E-Levy policy which was passed in Parliament on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, amidst the Minority walkout from the chamber.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), had indicated that it has put in place adequate measures to ensure the smooth take-off of the new tax.<\/p>\n

According to the GRA, it has broadly consulted all relevant stakeholders to ensure the collection of the E-Levy as earlier announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Authority assures the general public that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure the smooth implementation of the Levy,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cGRA has held several technical sessions and engagements with the various charging entities (Electronic Money Issuers, Banks, Payment Service Providers, and Specialised Deposit-taking Institutions) on the implementation of the E-Levy, with the aim of ensuring that the charging entities are in a position to implement the Levy by the due date,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing Ghana Revenue Authority\u2019s assessment of the general readiness of some Charging Entities to integrate with the E-levy Management System, the Commissioner-General has decided on a modified phased approach for the implementation of the Levy from 1st of May 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
