Ghana tax reform and revenue mobilization

Overview

Ghana is undergoing a series of tax reforms and revenue mobilization efforts. In July 2026, the government accepted a recommendation from the Constitutional Review Committee to tax the President’s salary and allowances while in office, though it rejected taxing the President’s retirement gratuity and pension.

Expanding on broader fiscal strategies, the government has set an ambitious target for the Ghana Revenue Authority to double tax revenue from GH¢155 billion in 2024 to GH¢310 billion by 2028. These reforms aim to simplify the tax system, improve compliance through technology, and integrate the informal sector. Key initiatives include updates to the Value Added Tax system and the taxation of cross-border digital transactions, with a focus on broadening the tax base rather than introducing new rates.
