- The Ghana government has raised the VAT registration threshold for businesses dealing in goods from GHS200,000 to GHS750,000 to ease the burden on small and micro enterprises.
- This reform is part of a broader move towards a simpler, more efficient, and technology-driven tax administration.
- The new threshold allows small businesses to operate without VAT compliance pressure until they surpass GHS750,000 in turnover.
- Additional reforms include abolishing the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy, reducing the effective VAT rate, and modernizing tax administration with digital systems.
- These measures aim to simplify compliance, support private-sector growth, and drive economic transformation.
