Ghana’s VAT Tax Gap Widens: 61 % of Potential Revenue Uncollected

A recent VAT gap study reveals Ghana is currently collecting only 39 % of its theoretical VAT potential—meaning a massive 61 % remains uncollected . The average VAT gap from 2013–2022 was 59.2 %, fluctuating between 55.3% and 65.9%, with the peak in 2020. The service sector generates the bulk of the gap (avg. 53.5 %), with industry contributing around 41.9 %, and agriculture only ~4.7 %. Why the VAT Gap Matters Revenue Loss: Huge sums are not reaching public coffers—hindering funding for healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Compliance Challenges: Weak invoicing, under‑declaration in services, and limited VAT audits fuel the gap. Policy Shortfalls: Exemptions and outdated systems contribute to leakages that undercut government fiscal targets. Expert Solutions Tax experts propose several measures to close the gap: Strengthen Compliance Audits — Focus especially on the service industry. Introduce E‑Invoicing — Mandate digital billing systems across VAT-paying businesses […]

Justice Mensah: Supreme Court Should Have 20 Judges to Handle Caseload

During his parliamentary vetting on June 17, 2025, Supreme Court nominee Justice Philip Bright Mensah advocated for increasing the number of justices on Ghana’s apex court to 20, citing the expanding national caseload and the need for multiple panels. 1.
