Latest: Socal Media Users Mock Gov’t over E-LEVY Failure

Social media users have gone ablaze over speculations that the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-levy) is not meeting government’s expected target

Gabby Otchere-Darko, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has disclosed that the e-levy has generated less than ¢60 million, close to two months after its implementation.

He said government was expecting about ¢600million.

“What options are open to the government? The question should rather be: what option, if adopted, will re-inject investor confidence in our economy? Even if we find the $3-5 billion required, will that help? E-levy, which was to have given us some 600m by now, has done less than 60m,” he said in a tweet on Monday.



To some, it will be bad if the government decides to now go to the International Monetary Fund for money.

“How come the E-levy that was making GH₵1 million daily from a single charging entity, fail to push beyond 10% of the target?” a social media user quizzed.

If the e-levy is so far not bringing in the estimated revenues, it does not mean it is a bad tax. It means Ghanaians simply do not want to pay taxes. @@

Meanwhile, others have picked up government for the implementation of the E-levy.

This govt forced the e-levy down our throats despite stiff opposition because the IMF wasn’t an option. BUT this morning, Gabby is making a strong case for an IMF programme. Saying he’s not against it in principle. We know where this is heading. He’s the harbinger of policies.

I don’t have any transaction to make aaah, you say I’m refusing to pay E-levy 😂😂😂

So does it mean we are going to cancel e-levy?

If E-Levy is cancelled, and government decides to refund all monies collected, how much are you receiving? 😄😄😄
