- Ghana’s new E-VAT mandate requires all VAT-registered businesses, including non-resident digital platforms, to issue electronic invoices starting January 2026, with no revenue threshold.
- The E-VAT system uses a clearance model: invoices must be approved by the Ghana Revenue Authority’s Virtual Sales Data Controller before being issued to customers.
- The mandate covers tax invoices, sales receipts, refunds, credit/debit notes, purchase records, and hospitality statements of account.
- The onboarding process includes system integration, certification, testing, and then going live with e-invoicing.
- Recent VAT reforms abolish the Covid-19 Levy and make GET Fund and NHIL levies deductible as input tax.
