20% digital tax is not E-Levy – GRA boss

The Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, made the remarks while appearing before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 Mr Sarpong said the data being received reflects payments made by Ghanaians to the government to support infrastructure development and the provision of social services.

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has assured the public that the 20% digital tax collection is not a reintroduction of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), insisting that it is not introducing any new tax.“The data we are receiving reflects accurately what Ghanaians have paid and that is coming to their government to support infrastructure and social services, as the tax is intended to be.
