Claim: A social media user is asking if E-levy charges are not being charged anymore.
Verdict: False
Explanation: According to Article 174 of the 1992 Constitution, taxes can be imposed or abolished only through an Act of Parliament. The government has not sent a bill to Parliament to review the Electronic Transfer Levy Act, 2022 (Act 1075) and the Electronic Transfer Levy (Amendment) Act 2022 (ACT 1089), which imposes a levy of 1% on electronic transfers. To be convinced the tax is still in place the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition attempted a mobile money transaction and can confirm that the E-levy charges are still in force. Below is the screenshot of the transaction.
Therefore, the claim that E-levy is no longer being charged is false.
