The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced the postponement of the GH¢1 fuel levy collection from Monday, June 9, to Monday, June 16, 2025.

This decision follows concerns raised by the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), particularly regarding the financial strain on petroleum consumers, which could, in turn, lead to higher transport fares.

According to the GRA, the rescheduling is aimed at strengthening partnerships and fostering cooperation with key stakeholders.

“The Association has concerns with the June 9 implementation date. We have discussed with their leadership in the spirit of cordiality and partnership and have agreed on a new start date of June 16,” the revenue authority stated.

Details about D-Levy

On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Parliament passed the Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025, under a certificate of urgency.

The bill, introduced by the Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, imposes a GH¢1 fee on petroleum products.

The GH¢1 levy, commonly referred to as the Dumsor Levy or D-Levy, is a tax applied to every liter of fuel purchased.

For instance, if a consumer buys 10 liters of fuel, they will pay GH¢10 in total. The more liters purchased, the higher the amount paid as D-Levy.
