The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has for the second time postponed the implementation of the recently approved GH¢1 energy sector levy on petroleum products.
Originally scheduled to take effect on June 9, 2025, the levy faced stiff opposition from the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), transport operators, and other stakeholders.
The implementation was subsequently shifted to June 16 following engagements with key stakeholders.
In a statement dated June 13, GRA has explained that the postponement follows a directive from the Minister of Finance, issued after stakeholder consultations.
The statement signed by the Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has directed all ports and stations, as well as relevant internal and external stakeholders, to take note.
Meanwhile, the Authority has said a new implementation date will be announced later.
