The Ghana Revenue Authority — the national tax administration, formed from the merger of the Internal Revenue Service, the VAT Service and Customs.

It collects:

  • Income tax, including PAYE
  • VAT and the levies
  • Withholding tax
  • Customs and import duties
  • Corporate tax

You file through the GRA taxpayers’ portal, identified by your TIN — which is your Ghana Card PIN.

A tax clearance certificate from the GRA is required for a surprising number of things: contract bidding, permit renewals, and most dealings with government.
