GH¢1 dumsor Levy: Reduce levy to 0.50pesewa- Concerned drivers to govt

Commercial transport operators across Ghana have declared their opposition to the newly imposed GH¢1 energy sector levy on petroleum products, demanding an immediate reduction to 50Pesewa.

The Concerned Drivers Union, along with other industry stakeholders, argue that the levy would significantly increase their operational costs, affecting livelihoods and burdening the general public.

“The GHc1.00 levy is too much and we are calling on government to reduce it to 0.50pesewas”.

Speaking on Happy FM’s Happy Morning Show, Deputy Secretary of the Concerned Drivers Union, Asonaba Nana Wiredu, voiced frustration over government’s lack of consultation with transport operators before implementing the levy.

He cited previous instances where the union had taken industrial action to protest similar policies.

Various drivers unions have issued a 24-hour ultimatum, urging the government to engage in meaningful consultations regarding the levy’s impact. Failure to do so will result in a nationwide strike on June 11, 2025, effectively disrupting transportation services.

“We have spoken with our union members to prepare adequately for something small. It is disheartening looking at the situation drivers are being put in. we are meeting government today with the other transport unions for a discussion on the levy. If government fails to address our challenges, then we would embark on strike”.

The levy, initially scheduled for implementation on June 9, 2025, was postponed to June 16, 2025, following pushback from industry stakeholders.

The government argues that the additional charge is necessary to address financial challenges in the energy sector and stabilize power supply.

However, Energy and tax experts argue that the measure was introduced hastily, placing undue strain on businesses and commuters.
