VAT implementation on non-life insurance in Ghana

VAT implementation on non-life insurance in Ghana

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced that, effective 1st  April 2025, all non-life insurance products (excluding motor insurance) will attract Value Added Tax (VAT) and applicable levies under the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Act 2023 (Act 1107).

BREAKDOWN OF THE APPLICABLE TAXES

The total VAT rate applied to non-life insurance services is 21%. However, due the method of calculating VAT, the effective rate will be 21.9%. Here’s how it is determined:

National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL) – 2.5% (applied before VAT)

GETFund Levy – 2.5% (applied before VAT)

COVID 19 Levy – 1% (applied before VAT)

VAT – 15% (calculated on the sum of the insurance premium + NHIL + GETFund + COVID 19 Levy)VAT on non-life insurance policies

We understand that this is a significant change and we remain committed to keeping you informed and ensuring smooth transition.
