The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), says adequate preparation has been put in place to ensure the smooth implementation of the new tax, Electronic Transfer Levy, E-levy, which allows for a 1.5% charge to be applied to electronic transactions effective Sunday, May 1, 2022.
GRA says this is taking place after a broad consultation with all stakeholders.
“The Authority assures the general public that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure the smooth implementation of the Levy,” it said in a statement.
“GRA has held several technical sessions and engagements with the various charging entities (Electronic Money Issuers, Banks, Payment Service Providers, and Specialized 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,” the statement communicated.
