PUBLIC NOTICE<br />
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFRICAN UNION<br />
IMPORT LEVY ACT<br />
ADAG 074<br />
In September 2017, the African Union Assembly<br />
decided to impose a 0.2% levy on “eligible Imports” of<br />
goods originating from a Non- Member territory into a<br />
Member State territory to be consumed in the member<br />
States.<br />
The Parliament of Ghana has since passed the<br />
AFRICAN LEVY ACT, ACT 952 (2017) to implement<br />
that decision of The African Union. This means that<br />
imports which qualify under the Act shall attract a levy<br />
of 0.2% on the Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF) of the<br />
Goods.<br />
Under the Act (Act 952), the Ghana Revenue Authority<br />
has been given the responsibility to collect the levy.<br />
The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority<br />
has therefore put in the necessary measures to implement<br />
this mandate.<br />
The General Public, especially the trading Public,<br />
<br />
accordingly hereby informed that effective Friday, <strong>12</strong> th<br />
<strong>January</strong>, 2018, all Imports as shall be directed by the<br />
Commissioner-General, in accordance with the Act<br />
(952) shall attract a levy of 0.2% of CIF to be paid before<br />
goods are released to the affected importers.<br />
The Commissioner-General wishes to express his own gratitude<br />
and that of the Ghana Revenue Authority to Clients of the Ghana<br />
Revenue Authority for your kind cooperation over the years and<br />
hopes same would be accorded in this national exercise.<br />
COMMISSIONER-GENERAL<br />
