    What GRA E-VAT requires

    The Ghana Revenue Authority Certified Invoicing System (E-VAT) requires in-scope VAT taxpayers to transmit invoices to GRA in real time, receive an IRN, and present the IRN + QR to the buyer. Rollout has progressed from large taxpayers (October 2022) through subsequent waves announced by GRA.

    How Invoicemonk meets GRA E-VAT

    Invoicemonk integrates with the GRA E-VAT API, splits the Ghanaian VAT cascade (VAT 15%, NHIL 2.5%, GETFund 2.5%, COVID Levy 1%) per GRA Schedule, transmits the signed XML, captures the GRA IRN, and binds the verification QR to the invoice PDF.

    Who this applies to

    Ghanaian VAT-registered taxpayers in the active GRA rollout wave. Foreign suppliers fall under reverse-charge rules administered by the Ghanaian buyer.
