- The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) welcomes the government’s overhaul of the Value Added Tax (VAT) system.
- The previous VAT regime was complex, stressful for compliance, and increased business costs.
- GNCCI had advocated for a simpler VAT system and lower effective rates for several years.
- The new reforms, announced in this year’s budget, address their main concerns and are seen as a major improvement.
- The old system combined Standard VAT with straight-line levies, which was a major complaint among GNCCI members.
