E-Levy bill passed; GRA begins collection on April 1

Parliament has passed the controversial electronic bill (E-Levy).

The bill was passed on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

During its passage, the Minority Caucus was not in Parliament as the Minority bench had earlier staged a walkout.

The decision to pass the bill was reached after the Consideration Stage was completed by a Majority-sided House.

President Akufo-Addo is expected to assent to the bill for its implementation.

The E-Levy since its announcement by the Finance Minister on November 17, 2021 during his presentation of the 2022 Budget, has generated a lot of heated debate and controversy among the public.

Majority of Ghanaians along with the Minority Caucus in Parliament have mounted a spirited opposition against the passage of the E-Levy arguing that it is retrogressive and would adversely impact the government’s own financial inclusion agenda.

With its passage, the tax is expected to rake in a little over GHS 6bn this year.

Already, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced that it has implemented systems and is ready to mobilise the expected revenue from the E-Levy when passed.

Staring Friday, April 1, 2022, the following are the transactions to be affected by the E-Levy:

  • Mobile money transfers between accounts on the same electronic money issuer (EMI)
  • Mobile money transfers from an account on one EMI to a recipient on another EMI
  • Transfers from bank accounts to mobile money accounts
  • Transfer from mobile money accounts to bank accounts
  • Bank transfers on a digital platform or application which originate from a bank account belonging to an individual to another individual
The following transactions will not be affected
  • Cumulative transfers of GHC100 per day made by the same person
  • Transfers between accounts owned by the same person
  • Transfers for the payment of taxes, fees and charges on the Ghana.gov platform
  • Electronic clearing of cheques
  • Specified merchant payments (that is, payments to commercial establishments registered with the GRA for income tax and VAT purposes)
  • Transfers between principal, master agent and agent’s accounts
