Talking uninvolved of the lady Moderators Academic Excellence Award and Founders' Day Celebration at the Presbyterian Women's College of Education in Aburi, Rt. Fire up. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante said the assessment isn't anything contrasted with what those in created nations pay.


"Luckily or sadly, I just got back from Europe. In the wake of visiting a few urban communities, I understood our that E-Levy isn't anything contrasted with the level of assessments they pay. I was talking about with my associates back in Europe that assuming Ghana will at any point be essentially as pleasant as those spots, we might need to want to make a few penances. I have heard Ghanaians gripe that they don't see the effect government makes with the assessments they as of now pay. Indeed, the expenses we presently pay is nearly nothing."

The public authority is hoping to utilize the income raised from the toll to give occupations, further develop framework and seal a few monetary escape clauses.


The execution, which is expected on Sunday, May 1, 2022, has left numerous restless.


The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the implementer, has reported that it will continue with the execution yet in stages.


This is notwithstanding the way that a few individuals from the Minority in parliament have documented a suit at the Supreme Court testing the entry of the duty and along these lines recorded an order to stop the execution of the toll.
