The Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency, Sylvester Matthew Tetteh, has indicated that the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy, popularly known as e-levy, will not be mandatory, after all.
He admits that even the initial stages of implementation, after its approval, will see an attrition in users of electronic transactions but the situation will normalise.
“The e-levy is not a mandatory tax,” he stated on TV3‘s New Day with Johnnie Hughes on Monday, March 14.
“That is why I say that even the projections of government could be lower.”
The bill seeking approval on the levy has been put on ice as the Finance Minister, Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, who first announced it on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, is on a regional tour to engage the citizenry before returning to Parliament for further deliberations.
