Black Stars win could be your best gift after E-levy passage – Gabby tells Akufo-Addo

Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has said a victory for the Black Stars against the Super Eagles will be the best gift for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who turns 78 years today.

His comment comes after Parliament passed the Electronic Transaction Bill after the Minority staged a walkout in the House.

“Not a bad way to celebrate your 78th after flying over from Tamale. Will the Black Stars be the icing on the cake?,” he tweeted.

Parliament passes E-Levy after Minority walkout

Parliament has passed the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) by a vote of MPs from the Majority Caucus of the House after the Minority staged a walkout.

The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, said his side still opposes the E-Levy, hence the walkout.

Iddrisu urged President Akufo-Addo to withdraw the E-Levy Bill from the House because, he said, the Minority will not have anything to do with the controversial tariff.

Earlier, Ken Ofori-Atta, the Minister for Finance, had said the government has decided to reduce the basic E-Levy charge from 1.75% of the value of the transaction to 1.5%.

He said the government had reached this decision following engagements with various stakeholders undertaken by the government.

Moving for the E-Levy Bill to be read for the second time in Parliament today (Tuesday 29 March), Ofori-Atta announced: “The government has also decided to reduce the rate of the levy from 1.75% of the transfer to 1.5% of the transfer.”

He argued that the object of the E-Levy Bill is to widen the national tax base by imposing a levy on electronic money transfers. The levy will also enhance the government’s drive for revenue mobilisation, he said.

Missed start date

The Finance Minister had proposed a state date of 1 February 2022 as the implementation date for the new levy.

Presenting the 2022 Budget in Parliament in November last year, Ofori-Atta said: “This new policy comes into effect from 1 February 2022.

“The government will work with all industry partners to ensure that their systems and payment platforms are configured to implement the policy.”

“Minority stance misplaced”

Ken Ofori-Atta described the stance on the Electronic Transaction Levy taken by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) as misplaced.

Speaking at a town hall meeting on the levy in Takoradi in the Western Region, Ofori-Atta said the number of people paying tax towards development is woefully inadequate.

“So I think the NDC’s stance about not having the E-Levy may be misplaced.

“It is not because they are not patriotic, but when we do the numbers you will realise that clearly, we are at a point in our nation’s history that we need to do things differently,” Ofori-Atta said.
