E-Levy: Proceeds hit GH¢328m – GRA

The Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) says since the implementation of the
Electronic Transactions Levy, it has raked in GH¢ 328 million from the Tax
Measure.

Despite the resistance seen from the Ghanaian populace after it was rolled out, the E-Levy continues to see an increment in sums collected month on month.

Ghana’s tax to GDP was estimated to be 12.2% in 2019 with a 2021 provisional estimate of 12.5%. In a bid to enhance revenue mobilization and broaden the tax base, the government introduced the Electronic Transactions Levy (E-Levy).

At least GH₵6.9 billion was expected to be raised but the figure had to be revised to about GH₵4.9 billion following the delay in the passage of the e-levy bill. Having missed the GH₵1.46 billion target for the first half of the year, the government had to revise the tax measure downwards, again, to GH₵611 million.

Though it may be falling short of its initial targets, the GRA has raised more
than Half of the amount for the year.

Speaking at a meeting with business editors from media houses in Accra, Commissioner-General of the GRA, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, said they continue to witness increases in sums collected monthly.

“We continue to see increases in the revenue collected and we are confident that this will continue. There is increasingly between 10-15% improvement in collection of the E-levy on a month-on-month basis”, the Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Amishaddai Owusu-Amoah disclosed.

Meanwhile, the GRA will begin the piloting of an automated Auctioning
platform on the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS)later this
month. The e-auction module, which will be available on www.auction.icums.gov.gh is part of efforts to prevent revenue losses that emanate from the auctioning process.

“One of the things people complain about over the years is auctioning and I
am glad to announce that we have finished the electronic auditioning platform
which is online and our target is that, from the 15th of October, we will load
some of the times available for auction on this system as part of the pilot
phase.

“Our digitalization agenda remains on course and we are confident that both
the previous ones we have done like the cashless and the ICUMS will continue
to increase revenue,” the Commissioner-General said.

2022 REVENUE PERFORMANCE

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) fell short of its revised revenue target for
the period ending September 2022. Total tax revenue of GH¢51.58 billion was
collected for the period as against a target of GH¢52.04 billion. The GRA
narrowly missed its target by 0.9% raising GH¢466.61M less in revenue.

The performance however represents a nominal growth rate of 29.0% over the same period compared to last year’s collection of 26%.
