Employees who receive their pay using mobile money platforms should be aware of this possibility.
This is due to the fact that the recently passed E-Levy is expected to effect a portion of their funds.
The problematic law's architecture, according to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), mandates the tax's inclusion in the revenue collecting process.
Following its passage, the GRA has declared that it would be ready to implement the Electronic Transfer Law on May 1st.
According to a Principal Revenue Officer and Head of the Authority's Project Management Unit, if salaries are paid from bank accounts onto mobile money platforms, the 1.50 percent tax will be withheld from government coffers.
Isaac Kobina Amoako revealed this during a discussion on The Probe to refute the new tax.
On Sunday, the official stated that the current legal framework does not distinguish between a corporation and an individual mobile money account.
"The disbursements from corporate accounts were not reported for the banks, so that one is definitely excluded," he said Emefa Apawu, "but there was no differentiation in the momo between the corporate and individual momo accounts."
He went on to warn that this would affect loan disbursement as well as other financial transactions.
These issues will be sent to the Finance Ministry, according to Mr Amoako, in the hopes of having them resolved.
He believes that the GRA has been made aware of the potential difficulties that may arise as a result of this circumstance.
