The GH₵1 new levy on petroleum products takes effect from today, June 9, 2025, under the revised Energy Sector Levies Act, 2025 (Act 1141).
This was contained in a statement issued by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) through Tariff Interpretation Order (TIO) No. 2025/003, which clarified and enforced the implementation of the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act.
The Act was introduced to raise additional revenue to address energy sector shortfalls, reduce legacy debts, and stabilise the country’s power supply.
The GRA directive outlines significant increases in the Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy on a range of petroleum products, including petrol, diesel, marine gas oil, and heavy fuel oil.
The Commissioner-General of GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has urged all ports and fuel stations to strictly comply.
The statement added that the Bioland Clearing House Mechanism (CHM) platform is expected to complement the initiative by improving transparency and coordination in national energy and environmental planning.
