Programme brief
   
In today’s evolving Ghanaian tax landscape, Value Added Tax (VAT) is no longer just a compliance requirement. It is a powerful lever that can influence cash flow, profitability, and strategic decision-making. This session is designed to help senior executives and decision-makers unlock the full potential of VAT as a driver of business value. 

Targeted at CFOs, finance directors and managers, tax managers and specialists, the programme provides practical insights into how VAT can be proactively managed to enhance operational efficiency, improve financial visibility, and strengthen competitive positioning. 

Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to: 

  • Optimise cash flow and protect margins through effective input VAT recovery and minimisation of unrecoverable VAT 
  • Align VAT with pricing and commercial strategy, ensuring tax considerations are embedded in decision-making rather than treated as an afterthought 
  • Reduce VAT leakage across both local and cross-border transactions by identifying common risks and inefficiencies 
  • Strengthen invoicing and documentation practices to support compliance while maximising tax recovery opportunities 
  • Prepare for digital tax administration, including electronic invoicing (e-VAT) and understanding their implications for finance systems and controls 

The session goes beyond theory by incorporating real-life scenarios, industry-specific considerations, and practical tips, making it highly relevant for businesses operating in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, technology, and professional services. 

By the end of the training, participants will be equipped to reposition VAT from a perceived cost burden to a strategic tool that supports profitability, transparency, and sustainable growth.
