The Finance Ministry has dispelled claims that a private company has been awarded a contract to collect funds generated from the much-debated electronic transaction levy (E-levy).
In a statement issued on Monday, the Ministry clarified that the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), as a state agency is the only institution going to provide the collection services at a fee that will not exceed the standard cost of revenue mobilisation.
According to the Finance Ministry, “GRA will manage all discussions to ensure full deployment of their current platforms and resources for the collection of the E-Levy.”
Also, the Ministry debunked assertions that an allocation of ¢241,933,000 under the electronic transaction levy (E-levy) in government’s 2022 budget has been removed from the final Appropriation Act.
