A Deputy Finance Minister, Dr John Kumah, says as of April 29, government’s readiness to implement the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) from May 1, is almost 100 per cent.
According to him, government’s preparedness is at a rate of 95 per cent.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Friday, Dr John Kumah noted that in the next 48 hours, government’s preparation to see to the implementation of the levy will be complete.
“We are 95 per cent ready. So the next 48 hours will make it 100 per cent. We are rolling out God willing May 1. The E-levy is coming to life,” he told host, Benjamin Akakpo.
His assurance comes a day after the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the institution in charge of the collection of the tax, noted that it would not be able to fully implement the levy from May 1.
