Since 1 January 2026, VAT, NHIL and the GETFund Levy are all charged on the same value of the supply, and the 1% COVID-19 levy no longer applies.

Enter a price without tax to add them, or a total price to see how much of it is tax.

How it's calculated

VAT: 15% of the value of the supply.
NHIL: 2.5% of the same value. GETFund Levy: 2.5% of the same value.
To remove them from a total price, divide it by 1.20.

On a selling price of GH₵1,000: NHIL GH₵25, GETFund Levy GH₵25 and VAT GH₵150, so GH₵1,200 in total.
