The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced a postponement of the implementation of the Tariff Interpretation Order, which was intended to operationalise aspects of the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1141).

The decision follows a directive from the Minister of Finance, issued after stakeholder consultations.

The deferred measure would have increased the Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy (ESSDRL) on selected petroleum products starting June 16, 2025.

A new implementation date will be announced later.
