Ghana VAT & Levies Return
Split VAT, NHIL, GETFund and COVID levies, build the GRA return and issue withholding-VAT certificates
A focused Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) compliance app for Odoo Accounting. It splits every standard-rated supply into its four statutory indirect-tax components, assembles the GRA VAT & Levies return file for a filing period, and lets appointed agents issue 7% withholding-VAT credit certificates — all generated inside your own database.
Correct Ghana tax mechanics — both regimes
Flat regime (from 1 January 2026)
After the 2026 VAT reform, VAT (15%), NHIL (2.5%) and the GETFund Levy (2.5%) are each charged directly on the VAT-exclusive value, and the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy is abolished. A GHS 1,000 supply totals GHS 1,200.
Cascading regime (up to 31 December 2025)
For historical periods, the three levies are charged on the exclusive value and VAT is charged on the levy-inclusive base, so a GHS 1,000 supply totalled GHS 1,219. The app picks the right method automatically from the invoice date.
Key features
Per-invoice levy split
Every customer/vendor invoice shows its VAT, NHIL, GETFund and COVID amounts and the regime in force, computed automatically from the invoice date and tax lines.
GRA VAT & Levies return
Aggregate a filing period into the GRA return boxes — output VAT, each levy, input VAT, withholding-VAT credit, net VAT payable and total payable — and export a CSV return file plus a human-readable summary.
Withholding-VAT certificates
Appointed agents compute the 7% withholding VAT on a standard-rated supply and issue a Withholding VAT Credit Certificate as proof of advance payment of VAT and levies.
Taxpayer-identifier validation
Structural validation of the legacy GRA TIN (letter + 10 digits) and the Ghana Card PIN (GHA-#########-#) on the company, partners and certificates.
Published statutory rates
| Component | Rate | Base |
|---|---|---|
| VAT (standard) | 15% | Exclusive value (flat) / levy-inclusive (cascading) |
| NHIL | 2.5% | VAT-exclusive value |
| GETFund Levy | 2.5% | VAT-exclusive value |
| COVID-19 HR Levy | 1% | VAT-exclusive value (abolished from 1 Jan 2026) |
| Withholding VAT | 7% | VAT-exclusive value of standard-rated supply |
Pure file generation — you stay in control
This module builds the return file and certificates inside your Odoo database. It does not transmit anything to the GRA. You download the file and file it through the GRA taxpayers' portal with your own credentials. No data leaves your database.
