- Ghana introduced VAT rules for non-resident digital service providers in 2022, amending the VAT Act to cover electronic commerce, digital services, and overseas providers.
- Non-resident providers supplying digital services to Ghanaian customers must register for VAT, either directly or through a local agent, with no registration threshold.
- In-scope services include social networking, online gaming, cloud services, streaming, digital marketplaces, and online advertising.
- Registered providers must charge, collect, declare, and pay VAT monthly; returns and payments are due by the end of the following month.
- Many providers must also use e-invoicing/sales receipts and integrate with the Ghana Revenue Authority system, though exemptions or relief may be granted for some non-resident providers.
