The member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Honorable Sam Nartey George has asserted that the E-Levy is a failed tax measure. His comments is a reaction to Gabby Otchere-Darko’s message which said that the E-Levy is only delivering 10% of the estimated revenue.<\/p>\n

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Monday, 27th June 2022, he wrote the Prime Minister laments and wailing engulfs the Government. The tale of a Republic dithering on the precipice of economic doom.<\/p>\n

,”We sounded the caution, we were called naysayers and doom mongers. We advised against the tax, we were called Jeremiahs and haters. The e-Levy tax is a FAILED TAX measure.<\/strong> No amount of spin can change the fact.”<\/p>\n

Sam George asserted that Government estimated to collect GH4.2 billion in 7 months in 2022 from May – December. This works out to approximately GH600 million a month. It would be safe to estimate a daily accrual of GH 20 million to meet this target.<\/p>\n

He continued that within the first week of the implementation of the e-Levy, the Ghana Revenue Authority – Official and government spokespersons were all over jubilating that the e-Levy was raking in over GH1 million a day from one charging entity<\/p>\n

“Last week, the Economic Management Team met with key stakeholders in the implementation of the e-Levy and it is evident that our Nation is in a crisis. The golden egg we were promised has turned out to be Alumi.” He revealed.<\/p>\n

He added that in May 2022, the government only managed to raise about GH1.8 million per day accumulating less than GH60 million in revenue for the whole month. They actually got 9% of expected revenue!<\/p>\n

Transaction volumes have reduced by about 18% month-on-month but transaction values have declined by about 40%. This is what we warned the government about but our government is tone deaf. He continued.<\/p>\n

“I am glad that I have not carried out a single MoMo transaction in the past 9 weeks as a sign of personal protest and in defiance of the insensitivity of our government in imposing the tax.” Sam George said.<\/p>\n
