Question 1

Does my invoice have to show VAT and the levies separately in Ghana?

Accepted Answer

Ghana applies VAT alongside health and education levies, and buyers generally expect to see the breakdown and both parties' TIN details on a proper VAT invoice. Tallium AI lets you configure your tax treatment once so every invoice prints consistently, including for businesses on the VAT Flat Rate Scheme. Rates and invoice content requirements change, so confirm current rules with GRA or a qualified local tax professional before you finalise your invoice template.

Question 2

When do I have to register for VAT in Ghana?

Accepted Answer

The commonly cited registration threshold is GHS 750,000 in taxable supplies of goods over the relevant period, with different treatment for services and for the Flat Rate Scheme. Tallium AI's reports show your rolling taxable turnover so you can see the line coming rather than discovering it after the fact. Thresholds and the periods they are measured over do change — confirm with GRA or a qualified local tax professional before you register or delay.

Question 3

Can Tallium AI submit my invoices to the GRA E-VAT system?

Accepted Answer

No — Tallium AI is not a certified E-VAT transmission channel, and we would rather say so plainly than let you find out later. What it does is hold clean, complete invoice records with the customer, TIN and tax detail you need, and export them for your accountant or for issuing through GRA's approved route. If you have been onboarded to E-VAT, confirm your obligations with GRA or a qualified local tax professional, as onboarding is being rolled out in waves.

Question 4

How much does Tallium AI cost in Ghana cedis?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is in US dollars only, charged per unit per month: $79 for a shop or store, $159 for an online store, $99 for a warehouse and $269 for a factory. Billing starts at signup, runs monthly, and you can cancel anytime — there is no free trial. Your bank or card issuer converts at their rate on the day, so the cedi amount will move slightly month to month.

Question 5

I have three staff who need access. What does that add?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Every Tallium AI plan includes unlimited users at no per-seat cost, with roles and permissions so a cashier sees the till but not your margins or bank feed. This is usually the single biggest cost difference against per-seat invoicing tools once a Ghanaian small business grows past the owner plus one.

Feature	Tallium AI	other invoicing software in Ghana
What you actually get for the price	One app covering accounting, invoicing, POS, inventory, e-commerce, plus the Tallium AI suite's Marketing and CRM under a single account.	Invoicing, quotes and payment reminders done well. Books, POS and stock are usually separate products or separate subscriptions.
User licences	Unlimited users on every plan. Your accountant, shop supervisor, storekeeper and delivery lead all get logins at no extra cost.	Commonly priced per seat or capped by tier — a second and third user is often the first upgrade a growing Ghanaian business is pushed into.
Ghana VAT and levies on the invoice	Set your VAT and levy treatment once; invoices show TIN, VAT registration details and the tax breakdown, and the figures roll into the numbers you need for your VAT and Levies Return.	Better apps let you build custom tax rates for VAT plus NHIL/GETFund-style levies; simpler or foreign-built apps only offer one flat tax field, which forces manual edits.
GRA E-VAT	Invoices carry the required customer, TIN and tax-breakdown fields, and data exports cleanly for your accountant. Tallium AI is not a GRA-certified E-VAT transmission channel — if you have been onboarded, you still issue through GRA's approved route.	A small number of local vendors advertise direct E-VAT integration or certification, which is a real advantage if you are already in an onboarding wave. Most international invoicing apps have none.
Stock behind the invoice	Invoicing draws on live inventory — quantities drop as you bill, and you see cost, margin and reorder points per item and per location.	Usually item lists with prices, not true stock control. Quantity tracking is basic or bolted on through a separate inventory plan.
Counter sales	Full POS included in the shop/store unit, so walk-in sales, receipts and credit invoices sit in the same ledger.	Rarely included. Shops typically buy a separate POS and reconcile the two systems by hand at month end.
Getting paid	Invoices carry your payment instructions and bank or mobile money details, with reminders and an ageing report so you know who is overdue.	This is where the specialists shine — many offer slick hosted payment links and mobile money checkouts built specifically for the Ghanaian market.
Receipts and expenses	AI receipt scanning reads supplier receipts, categorises them and posts them, so purchases and input VAT are captured as they happen.	Often manual entry, or an add-on. Some plans include basic expense capture but without automatic categorisation.
Pricing model	Flat USD per unit, per month: shop/store $79, online store $159, warehouse $99, factory $269. Billed monthly, cancel anytime.	Frequently cheaper at entry — some free or low-cost tiers exist — but priced per user or per invoice volume, so cost climbs as the team grows.
Free trial	None. You pay from signup and can cancel anytime, so there is no countdown clock and no card trap at day 14.	Free trials and freemium tiers are common, which is a genuine advantage if you want to test before you commit.
