- Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) will launch an automated VAT deduction system for online transactions in August.
- The system will collect tax directly at payment checkout, moving toward real-time tax clearance for e-commerce.
- It aims to put online sellers and physical stores on equal tax footing, including local and non-resident digital service providers.
- The unified effective tax rate will be 20% under the Value Added Tax Act, 2025, combining VAT, NHIL, and GETFund.
- Success depends on API integration with payment gateways and clear consumer/merchant education to avoid backlash.
