The point is that if we look at our inflows and we look at what have been achieved with it. I mean what is the E-Levy going to do? It\u2019s just a drop in the cup, is it not?, Compared to our inflows.  How much we have borrowed for the past year\u201d, she noted.<\/p>\n<p>She stated this on the GTV breakfast show on February 11, 2022 during the Headlines segment.<\/p>\n<p>The lecturer however stated that, the E-levy is little harsh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how it is going to work because if I send money around it means that at some point, after about 42 cycles of the money is all taxed. It all goes away so the little bit harsh\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She added that, the government should give a thoughtful consideration about the E- levy or find another way of getting money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis figure itself was calculated on the number of expected transactions is that not it?, so how can we be sure that these expected transactions will take place. I think that the whole levy has not be thoughtful properly because this is made on projection. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There no guarantee that we will get this money, the government should find another way of getting it. Because the number of people I saw on the street of Accra is just the representation. Another of people is not happy with it. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if all these people are going to stop these transactions can you imagine the kind of problems it is going to cause, she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naa Odarkai Lamptey, UPSA lecturer A Lecturer at the School of Law, UPSA, Natasha Naa Odarkai Lamptey has said that the E- Levy will not solve the problems of Ghana.
