GRA postpones implementation of GH¢1 fuel levy
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has for the second time postponed the implementation of the recently approved GH¢1 energy sector levy on petroleum products.
This directive is issued to postpone the implementation date of tariffs interpretation order (TIO) number 2025/004 relating to the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act 2025 (Act 1141).
The initial date was to take effect on June 9, 2025; the levy faced stiff opposition from the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), transport operators, and other stakeholders.
The implementation was subsequently shifted to June 16, 2025 following engagements with key stakeholders.
According to the new statement, GRA has explained that the postponement follows a directive from the Minister of Finance, issued after stakeholder consultations.
However, the statement signed by the Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has directed all ports and stations, as well as relevant internal and external stakeholders, to take note.
