“It is estimated that between 2015-2019, the government lost GHC4.7 billion in tax revenue as a result of illegal activities in the petroleum sector.

“Actions, decisions and policies of individuals and corporate bodies which result in petroleum product distribution leakages and the associated revenue losses to the State have serious negative effects on the developmental agenda of the government.”

Dr. Bawumia

Furthermore, Dr Bawumia underscored the significance of the innovation to the overall development agenda of the government, highlighting the importance of petroleum revenue.

Petroleum taxes major revenue source

He indicated that taxes and levies on petroleum products are major sources of revenue for the government;in pursuing its developmental agenda.

“With this latest initiative of the Retail Outlet Fuel Monitoring System, we look forward to blocking revenue leakages. And improving revenue mobilization that would contribute to Government’s efforts to providing;social services and funding for infrastructural development.”

Under the Fuel Monitoring System, any OMC that receives illegal fuel would be found out.

The system will also be able to manage all fuel-related data, among other things in real-time.
