Actor and staunch sympathizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Prince David Osei has sworn to campaign against the NPP government if he sees no headway from the E-Levy tax.
Electronic Transaction Levy (commonly known as Electronic Levy or E-levy) is a tax applied on transactions made on electronic or digital platforms.
Before its implementation, Ghanaians shared their views on it. It became a topic of national interest.

The greater fraction of the population was not in support of the concept, stating that the charges are huge and that they see no need in taxing electronic money trades.
Others argued that they are not seeing the use of the taxes in effect already hence there is no need for the government to additional charge taxes.
Obviously, on the contrary, the remaining citizens rooted for the E-Levy to be implemented and finally it’s in effect. All electronic transactions are now taxed at a 1.5% rate.
Prince David Osei remarking on the new tax that has been rolled by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) on electronic transactions, said the charges are unbearable.
