<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>In a bold move, Finance Minister-designate, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has pledged to remove both the E-Levy and the betting tax in the government&#8217;s first budget, should he be approved.</strong></p>



<p>This decision is driven by his conviction that both taxes hinder economic progress in Ghana.</p>



<p>Ato Forson argued that the E-Levy discourages digital transactions and obstructs the country&#8217;s move towards a cashless economy.</p>



<p>He also emphasized that the betting tax generates minimal revenue, making it an unnecessary burden on the economy.</p>

<p>The Finance Minister-designate reiterated his long-standing position against the E-Levy, stating that it is neither a direct tax, an indirect tax, nor an excise tax. He expressed his determination to abolish the betting tax in his first budget, citing its failure to generate significant revenue.</p>



<p>&#8220;I have said that given the opportunity, I will abolish the e-levy. I want to restate that position that if approved, as part of the first budget, I will announce that we will abolish the levy as part of our first budget,&#8221; Ato Forson stated.</p>



<p>This move is in line with President John Dramani Mahama&#8217;s 120-day agenda, which includes abolishing the E-Levy.</p>
