Ghana's opposition has said that it will appeal to the Supreme Court a bill imposing a controversial new tax on electronic payments.
Parliament passed the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) Bill on Tuesday.
It was evaluated under a certificate of urgency and adopted at a lower rate of 1.5 percent, down from the 1.75 percent intended.
MPs from the opposition refused to vote and staged a walkout, claiming the levy was discriminatory.
Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta supported the measure, claiming that it will generate $930 million (£700 million) in annual revenue.
The government of President Nana Akufo-Addo also stated that the measure will aid in the reduction of Ghana's enormous public debt.
To reduce the deficit, the administration recently announced broad spending cuts.
It blamed the Covid-19 outbreak and Russia's invasion of Ukraine for deepening economic woes.
