What We Do

Reduce Your
Tax Burden

Personal tax reliefs are legally recognized deductions that reduce your taxable income, thereby lowering the total amount of income tax you are required to pay. These reliefs are offered by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and are aimed at easing the tax burden on individuals based on specific personal and family circumstances.

 

Services Offered

Who is eligible?

Only individual taxpayers or employees who are subject to income tax in Ghana are eligible for personal tax reliefs. You must be gainfully employed or have income subject to tax under Ghanaian tax laws.

Can You File
for Past Years?

Unfortunately, personal tax reliefs cannot be claimed retroactively. Applications are only valid for the current tax year. For example, in 2018, reliefs were only applicable to that year. Once a tax year ends, unclaimed reliefs are written off.
