'I Can Choose To Send Ghc100 . . .' - Carlos Ahenkorah On E-Levy
" . . no one is saying anyone is poor but all government is saying is that if you send Ghc100 you won't pay . . . and so if I'm a rich person, I can choose to send Ghc100 . . . I can choose to take advantage of this clause and send 100, 100, 100, . . " says Tema West Member of Parliament, Carlos Ahenkorah.
He was giving his views on the controversial e-levy during a panel discussion on UTV's Adekye Nsroma morning show.
The E-levy is a new tax measure introduced by the government in its 2022 Budget.
When this controversial levy is passed, a charge of 1.75% will apply to electronic transactions that are more than GH¢100 on a daily basis.
