The government’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions is in line with the move, the GRA emphasized.

 

By encouraging the use of green energy and eco-friendly technology, the emissions levy is intended to improve environmental management and reduce pollution of the air and water.

According to the authority, anybody required to pay the Emissions Levy must finish the registration process and use the ghana.gov platform only to make levy payments.

“Under section 4(4) of Act 1112, a person required to issue a road certificate (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) and other testing centres) shall demand evidence of payment of the levy before issuing a Road Use Certificate.”

Additionally, the GRA called on all vehicle owners to adhere to the directive and fulfill their obligation by paying the Emissions Levy as stipulated in Act 1112.
