MTN GHANA has announced a revision to its tariffs following the passage of the Communication Services Tax (amendment) Act, 2020 (Act 1025).
In accordance with the amended law, MTN Ghana has adjusted its tariffs to reflect the 4% reduction in the Communication Services Tax.
Tariffs for all voice calls, data and SMS have been amended to reflect the downward adjustment of the CST.
In addition, MTN is giving a 5% bonus on all types of recharges including physical voucher, Mobile Money and EVD.
The tariff adjustment took effect from the September 15, 2020.
Commenting on the tariff adjustment, the Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, Samuel Koranteng, said “as a responsible corporate citizen, MTN has since the amendment of the law taken several steps to ensure customers enjoy the best value propositions and an enhanced experience on the network.”
He added that the adjustment would enable customers enjoy more talk time and browsing time for the same price of vouchers or bundles they buy.
He explained that the 5% bonus on every recharge can be used for all types of calls, SMS to all networks and also browse on the Internet. The bonus on a recharge is valid for a period of 7 days and is available until December 31, 2020.
Further to the enhanced Voice and Data values as well as the 5% bonus on recharge, customers will continue to enjoy the existing 100% bonus on recharge (BOR) done on the Electronic Voucher Device (EVD) and Mobile Money with validity period of 7 days.
Also, customers who have been on the network for less than 6 months will continue to get 100% BOR on all airtime top-ups.
