Recent confusion has surrounded the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) in Ghana, following refunds linked to technical issues with the levy system. The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has clarified that these refunds are the result of erroneous deductions caused by internet disruptions affecting the Electronic Transfer Levy Management and Assurance System (ELMAS).
These technical issues led to incorrect charges on some transactions, prompting the GRA to work with charging entities to ensure affected users are reimbursed.
Despite public speculation, the government has confirmed that the E-Levy has not been canceled. The refunds are administrative corrections and do not signal a change in policy.
On social media, some users mistakenly believed that the refunds indicated the levy’s abolition, while others provided clarifications to address the misunderstanding.
The E-Levy remains in place, and any potential changes to the policy will be addressed during future budget discussions. The GRA has reiterated its commitment to correcting errors and maintaining public trust in the system.
This situation underscores the importance of clear communication to prevent misinformation regarding national policies.
