Parliament has approved the repeal of the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy).
The decision follows the passage of the Electronic Transaction Levy (Repeal) Bill, 2025, on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 awaiting Presidential assent.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2024 electioneering campaign promised to repeal the controversial Electronic Transfer Levy.
According to the NDC, they do not oppose taxation as a principle and will not be pretentious about it with fanciful slogans like the NPP did in the past.
“We are, however, implacably opposed to distortionary and burdensome taxes like the E-levy. That only forces Ghanaians to endure more suffering.
“A new National Democratic Congress government, God willing and with the votes of the sovereign people of Ghana in 2025, will repeal the E-levy and the ACT,” President John Mahama disclosed to a cheering audience at the NDC’s ‘Ghana at a crossroads’ event held at Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
Presenting the 2025 budget to Parliament as a new government, the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, indicated that President Mahama’s administration will honor it promise and repeal the E-levy.
