Parliament is now waiting on President Akufo-Addo to assent to the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) Bill.

The Majority in Parliament approved the E-Levy after the Minority walked out saying the tax is a tool to exacerbate the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian.

Today’s decision was reached after the Consideration Stage was completed under a certificate of urgency.

The Bill was adopted at a reduced rate of 1.5% from the initial 1.75%.

The tax, which has become a subject of debate among Ghanaians, is expected to rake in close to ¢6 billion in tax revenue for the country.
