GH₵1 Fuel Levy set to begin on July 16
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has confirmed that the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1141) will take effect on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, after a strategic delay to monitor global market trends and stabilize domestic fuel prices.
Following consultations with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy, the government finalized the rollout after a thorough review of market conditions.
The move supports Ghana’s commitment to economic stability while addressing critical financial demands in the energy sector.
Detailed in Tax Information Circular (TIO) No. 2025/004, the amended law revises rates for the Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy (ESSDRL) on various petroleum products.
These adjustments aim to bridge funding gaps and facilitate the repayment of longstanding energy sector debts.
