Parliament has since passed the Value Added Tax Bill, 2025, which now awaits presidential assent. As implementation is scheduled for 2026, businesses should act now to align commercial and operational practices with the new regime beyond what was mentioned in the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy. This includes preparing for contract negotiations, updating procurement processes, recalibrating pricing strategies, and adapting invoicing and compliance workflows to meet the requirements of the VAT Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PwC Ghana is pleased to announce a training session aimed at preparing businesses to move from policy to implementation. The training demystifies the most material changes, highlights areas of risk and opportunity across sectors, and equips participants with the tools to update systems, contracts and processes ahead of go-live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key topics include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Changes to scope, rates, and exemptions; implications for pricing, margin and cash flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Input tax recovery rules, partial exemption and apportionment; documentation standards and audit readiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance workflow: registration, e-invoicing, returns, credit notes, adjustments and record-keeping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transitional provisions for existing contracts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the session, you will understand what has changed, why it matters, and how to operationalise the new rules across your organisation.
