The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has postponed for the second time, the rollout of Tariff Interpretation Order (TIO) No. 2025/004, which relates to the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1141).
The suspension follows a directive from the Minister of Finance after consultations with key stakeholder.
The order, which included a planned increase in the Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy (ESSDRL) on selected petroleum products, was initially set to take effect on June 16, 2025. It has now been deferred until further notice.
GRA Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong confirmed the decision in a directive dated June 13, assuring that a new implementation date will be announced later.
