Chairman Nana Akwasi,Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NDC has reaffirm that the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will repeal the Electronic Transactions Act, describing it as a regressive tax, which imposed hardships on Ghanaians.
“A new National Democratic Congress Government, God willing and with the votes of the sovereign people of Ghana – in 2025 — will repeal the E-Levy Act,” he said.
He said although the NDC was not opposed to the principle of taxation, the NDC was, “implacably opposed to distortional and burdensome taxes such as the E-Levy that only force Ghanaians to endure more suffering”.
“Unfortunately in the face of this self-inflicted economic catastrophe, this government against all sound advice has decided to introduce the E-Levy that heaps more suffering on Ghanaians,” he said.
Chairman Nana Akwasi emphasised that it was even more saddening that the levy was implemented on May Day, when workers were supposed to be celebrated.
He stated this during a campaign tour of the Nhyiaeso constituency in the Ashanti region today.
