Tax system in Ghana

Ghana taxes employment income through PAYE on a progressive annual schedule from 0% to 35%. Chargeable income is gross salary minus the employee SSNIT contribution (5.5% Tier 1), which is deductible before tax and capped at the maximum insurable earnings of GHS 61,000 per month. The first GHS 5,880 a year is tax-free, and the top 35% rate applies above GHS 605,000 a year. Accra is one of West Africa's largest financial centres and a growing base for technology, energy and development organisations.
