The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta has said that the controversial E-levy which was passed on 29th March will take effect from May 2022.
According to the Minister the E-levy bill has been approved by Parliament though but it will take time for it to take effect.
Speaking on Wednesday to the press at the State of the Nation address in Accra, the Minister said the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has to configure it’s systems in order for the E-Levy to take effect.
“We had some meetings with Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD) and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and they have said right at the beginning of May they should be able to put their system together”, he said.
Meanwhile the minority in Parliament have declared that they are heading to court as far as the E-levy passage is concerned.
