- Ghana Revenue Authority plans to roll out a reformed VAT system requiring businesses to use Fiscal Electronic Devices (FEDs) and send transaction data to the tax authority in real time.
- Parliament has approved funding for procurement and deployment of 40,000 FEDs nationwide, with the first phase targeting mid-sized shops and supermarkets.
- VAT compliance is estimated at about 40%, so the measure aims to improve reporting and collection of VAT revenue.
- The rollout is backed by Act 966 and linked to the newer VAT Act 2025, which supports real-time electronic VAT reporting and a GHS 750,000 registration threshold.
- Retailers, POS vendors, and system integrators should prepare for device installation, certification, and integration requirements as implementation details are finalized.
