According to the GRA, starting July 16, 2025, Ghanaians will pay GHC1 more per litre of fuel as under the new Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025, passed under a certificate of urgency in Parliament.

“Following a thorough review of prevailing market indicators and in line with the government’s commitment to ensuring stable economic conditions,” the GRA said, “the implementation of the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 (Act 1141), will now commence, effective 16th July 2025.”

The GRA has directed all stakeholders to take note of the new date and ensure full compliance with the provisions of the amended law.

Julie Kozack, the Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Communications Department, has backed the government’s Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy.

The IMF asserted that the GH¢1 fuel levy is a strategic measure aligned with the country’s fiscal goals under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme.

According to Julie Kozack, the measure will bolster Ghana’s ability to deliver on the fiscal objectives under the programme.

Speaking at a press briefing, Julie Kozack stated, “On the fuel levy, what I can say is that this is a new measure that will help generate additional resources to tackle the challenges in Ghana’s energy sector, and it is also going to bolster Ghana’s ability to deliver on the fiscal objectives under the programme”.

Meanwhile, a new poll by Global InfoAnalytics shows that the majority of Ghanaians support the GHC 1 increase in petroleum tax to deal with the country’s energy crisis.

The poll shows that 55% of voters support the suspended ‘Dumsor’ Levy, while 22% oppose it. 23% were neutral.
