The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has postponed the implementation of the recently approved GH¢1 energy sector levy on petroleum products
Originally scheduled to take effect today, June 9, 2025, the levy faced stiff opposition from the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), transport operators, and other stakeholders
The controversial levy, which imposes a GH¢1 charge on every litre of petrol and diesel, is part of the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1141). Government says it is aimed at raising additional revenue to tackle mounting energy sector debt and to ensure a stable and reliable power supply.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner-General of GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has urged all ports and fuel stations to ensure strict compliance with the revised directive
