“President John Dramani Mahama has formally eliminated various taxes, such as the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), Betting Tax, and Emissions Tax, after signing new bills into law.”

President John Dramani Mahama has fulfilled a major campaign promise made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2024 elections by signing into law new bills that abolish the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), Betting Tax, and Emissions Tax.

The signing ceremony took place on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the seat of government, where President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to reducing the financial burden on Ghanaians.

President Mahama reaffirmed his pro-people economic approach, emphasizing that his government would persist in implementing policies focused on alleviating financial hardships for citizens. The removal of the E-Levy is anticipated to encourage more digital transactions, thereby making financial services more accessible to the public. Additionally, the repeal of the Betting Tax is expected to provide a boost to the gaming industry, while the elimination of the Emissions Tax will reduce the financial burden on businesses that have been impacted by environmental levies.

The approval of these bills marks a major change in Ghana’s tax policy.
