E-Levy Not Canceled: Refunds Linked to Technical Glitch Spark Public Confusion. Recent refunds associated with Ghana’s Electronic Levy (E-Levy) have sparked confusion, with many questioning its status.
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) clarified that these refunds address wrongful deductions caused by internet disruptions affecting the Electronic Transfer Levy Management and Assurance System (ELMAS).
These disruptions led to incorrect charges on some transactions, prompting the GRA to collaborate with charging entities to ensure affected users are reimbursed.

Despite public speculation, the government has not canceled the E-Levy. The refunds are administrative corrections rather than an indication of policy changes.
On social media, some individuals celebrated the refunds, mistakenly believing they signaled the levy’s abolition, while others provided clarifications.
The E-Levy remains in effect, with any potential policy changes expected to be deliberated during future budget readings.
The GRA emphasized its commitment to resolving errors to maintain public trust in the system.
This incident highlights the importance of accurate communication to prevent misinformation about key national policies.
