GRA — Ghana e-invoicing
No Ghana data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Ghana support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.
Ghana's e-invoicing is administered by the GRA, the Ghana Revenue Authority, through its e-Invoice System, referred to in places as e-VAT.
What supporting Ghana would involve
| System | GRA e-Invoice System (e-VAT) |
| Authority | GRA — Ghana Revenue Authority |
| Format | A national format (e-VAT). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today. |
| Transmission | Submission to the GRA e-Invoice System. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today. |
Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.
- Progressive mandatory rollout described as starting from 2021.
- Described as a clearance model, with pre-clearance validation required before an invoice is valid.
Which catalogues a contributor would add
Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Ghana.
country-policy/data/gh.json— which document actions Ghana allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.country-identifiers/data/gh.json— which national identifier a party must carry.tax/tax-systems/data/gh.jsonandvat-rates/data/gh.json— the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.correction-routes/data/gh.json— all eleven canonical correction routes,unverifiedwhere unresearched, never omitted.b2g-routing/data/gh.json— the channel and format a Ghanaian public buyer requires.transports/channel-policy/data/gh.json— whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Ghana, and from what date.archive/retention/data/gh.json— how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.
Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and
domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.
Data alone will not finish the job here: the GRA e-Invoice System is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and the e-VAT format has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.
Want Ghana supported?
Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Ghana, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Ghana".
