The manager of dancehall and Afrobeat artiste Shatta Wale, Bulldog has rubbished the electronic levy policy as he says it should rather be called F-levy.

Bullgod who was one of the panelists on the Untied Showbiz program on UTV shared his opinion on the controversial e-levy topic. According to him, it should be renamed F-levy and not e-levy. The F which signifies “Foolish” is the suggested name Bulldog gave saying he did not see the sense in the e-levy the government wants to impose on the citizens.
“I think we should rename it, s3 E-levy, let’s name it F-levy. It’s a foolish levy. It’s a foolish levy, simple. That’s my opinion on it I won’t say anything about it again. If something is foolish, it’s foolish”, Bulldog said.
The electronic transfer levy (e-levy) is a tax imposed on electronic transfers charged at the time of transfer by licensed banks, payment service providers (PSPs), and electronic money issuers. Ghana government introduced a 1.75% tax on all mobile money transactions exceeding GHc100. However, Ghanaians have stood to oppose the passing of the e-levy and demonstrated against it a few days ago with the hashtag, “#YentuaE-levy”.
