- Ghana’s Ministry of Finance will launch a national VAT Reward Scheme in 2026 to encourage tax compliance by entering customers who request receipts into prize draws.
- The scheme will be paired with an E-VAT system requiring retailers to use electronic devices that generate and record digital receipts in real time, improving transparency and reducing tax evasion.
- Retailers must invest in and adapt to new fiscal devices, which will automate VAT reporting and minimize errors.
- These initiatives are part of broader tax reforms, including a redesigned VAT framework to make the system fairer and more efficient.
- The reforms aim to foster a culture of transparency, increase public awareness, and support the digitalization of tax administration in Ghana.
