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)
