The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced that revenue from E-levy as at September 2022 amounted to ¢328.80million.
Commissioner–General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah explained that on-month basis the country continues to see a 20% improvement in collection of the levy.
“We commenced the implementation of this levy in May 2022. Revenue from E-levy as at September 2022 amounted to GHS328.80M,” the GRA said.
“It is therefore our expectation that, this will continue and improve domestic revenue generation to support government expenditure,” he stated while announcing the Revenue Perfromance for 2022.
He further indicated that the GRA has acquired a USSD code that will allow every Ghanaian to check on their tax compliance status.
“We have also acquired a USSD code that will allow every Ghanaian to check on their tax compliance status. This short code will be made public as soon as possible,” he stated.
The controversial levy started on Sunday, May 1 amidst rejection of the policy by a section of Ghanaians especially the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) who thought that it threatened electronic transactions.

Taking from the 'poor' to the enjoyment of the so called 'rich', now even if one send 5 ghc for the entire day one is charged elevy, it not after 100ghc aday anymore. ***barred word*** your time is numbered. I don't mean politically because none of the political parties is to serve the interest of the people but 99% of people have not realise this hence fighting for them and hating each other
Great news, at least there is some improvement in revenue collection that will help the country. It is however my expectations that the government will put it to good use that the citizens will see massive improvement in their live to edge them pay more. I am just waiting for the nay saying people expecially multi media (joy fm) will come say about this too since they made all efforts to criticise this. They even wanted it scrapped because they said revenue was not coming as per their expectations. Hmm some journalists we have.
