Ghana VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the flat-rate scheme

# Ghana VAT, NHIL, GETFund and the flat-rate scheme

Rates and codes. Install the Ghana set from Taxes > Tax codes. The standard code carries three parts so they show apart: VAT at 15%, the National Health Insurance Levy at 2.5%, and the GETFund levy at 2.5%. The flat-rate scheme is a separate code at 3%. There are also zero-rated, exempt and outside-the-scope codes. Every rate is a starting point you verify with your tax office.

The worksheet. Open Tax and payroll: Africa > Ghana. Choose the period and press Show the worksheet. VAT, NHIL and GETFund each have their own output, input and net lines. The layout is a draft: check it against the return template before you copy it.

The flat-rate code is for sales that use that scheme. The worksheet's VAT, NHIL and GETFund lines do not include flat-rate amounts, so report those separately as the scheme requires.

What the pack doesn't cover. Income tax and the actual filing are not done here. Pop Books calculates no income tax and sends nothing to the Ghana Revenue Authority.
