Understanding eVAT in Ghana

What is GRA eVAT and Why Does It Matter?

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) introduced the Electronic VAT (eVAT) system as part of Ghana’s digital tax reform. It mandates that all VAT-registered businesses issue electronic invoices and submit VAT returns digitally through the GRA e-invoicing portal.

Non-compliance carries significant penalties including fines, licence revocations, and tax audits. Apex Logic Software’s ERPNext eVAT module ensures your business is always compliant — automatically.

  • Mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses in Ghana
  • Requires real-time e-invoice generation and GRA portal submission
  • Standard VAT rate of 15% with additional NHIL (2.5%) and GETFL (1%) levies
  • Non-compliance penalties can reach up to 100% of VAT owed as fines
