This payment app cushions the tax (CST) on all your airtime purchases; here’s how

Is the Communication Service Tax stressing you? Do you want your regular bundle without having to buy more airtime?

This payment app cushions the tax (CST) on all your airtime purchases; here’s how

The wait is over because PalmPay is a payment app that will reward you as you spend and also cushion your CST 'wahala'.

Ghana’s Ministry of Communications has directed the telecommunication companies to stop the upfront charge and notice of the Communication Service Tax (CST). 

However, CST is not going away as a means to help fight cybercrime.

This app basically helps with that charge and gives customers extra value for their money’s worth.

PalmPay has released its 50% discount and 20% cashback on all airtimes purchased through its mobile application. This initiative is to absorb the 9% Communication Service Tax.

The cashback feature on the PalmPay app offers consumers 50% off their airtime purchases which is offered as PalmPoints. This is a loyalty feature on PalmPay for transfers and purchases.

20% cashback is also given for airtime purchases in the form of PalmPoints.

Example:

If you purchase airtime worth GHc50, your Communication Service Tax paid on that purchase should be GHc3 50p.

On PalmPay, purchasing GHc50 gives you a 20% cashback of GHc10 giving you enough to take away your GHc3.5 tax and still get rewarded with GHc6.5.

The best part is, if you have enough PalmPoints, you can support the purchase with up to 50% of your PalmPoints making you pay just GHc25 cedis for that GHc50 value and its reward.

See the table below for a range of purchases and cashback rewards:
