NHIL and GETFund explained simply (Ghana invoices)
Two levies that often sit next to VAT on invoices—what they are, why they are separate lines, and why you should not merge them into one number.
In one sentence each
NHIL and GETFund are separate levies that commonly appear on standard-rated supplies in Ghana alongside VAT. They are not VAT—treating them as the same line makes filings and reviews harder.
Why separate lines help
When levies sit on their own lines, your customer sees what they pay, and your accountant can reconcile activity without reverse-engineering a single "tax" column.
Your situation varies
Registration, exemptions, and supply type decide whether and how levies apply. Always confirm with your accountant or GRA.
