Ghana · VAT accounting
Accounting software built for Ghana businesses
Ghana's VAT system combines a 15% VAT rate with a 2.5% National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL) and a 1% Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) levy, giving an effective 18.5% rate on standard-rated supplies. HelloBooks computes all three components on every transaction, reconciles your bank feeds with AI, and prepares the GRA VAT Standard Rate Return. Monthly returns are due by the 30th of the following month. Registration is mandatory when annual turnover exceeds GHS 200,000.
