- The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is transitioning from manual VAT receipt booklets to fully digital fiscal receipts using the Electronic VAT (E-VAT) system and Fiscal Electronic Devices.
- During the transition, businesses can still use manual VAT booklets temporarily, but must eventually adopt electronic methods as required by the Value Added Tax Act, 2025 (Act 1151).
- Retailers with advanced systems must integrate with the E-VAT platform via API, while others must use certified Fiscal Electronic Devices to issue compliant receipts and transmit data to the GRA.
- The GRA is shifting enforcement toward electronic issuance and real-time monitoring, aiming to phase out manual receipts and enhance transparency, accuracy, and auditability in VAT reporting.
- Electronic fiscal receipts will become the mandatory standard for retail sales in Ghana.
