Daniel Nuer, Acting Director of Revenue Policy at the Ministry of Finance, has confirmed that preparations are well advanced to implement the removal of several taxes and levies introduced by the previous administration.
This follows Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson’s proposal during the 2025 budget presentation in Parliament on March 11, which outlined plans to eliminate the 10% Betting Tax, COVID Levy, and Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).
Speaking at a post-budget discussion webinar organized by Lima Partners, Nuer disclosed that the government has already begun engaging Parliament to pass the necessary legislation for these tax removals.
He expressed confidence that, unless unforeseen delays arise, the bills will be approved by the end of March, allowing implementation to commence in April.
“We have already started engaging Parliament on the necessary legislation for removing these taxes and levies. Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect that these bills will be passed by the end of the month. So, by April, we will start with the implementation,” he stated.
