Taxes, including personal income tax, expenses and limitations are reviewed by the Government in Ghana periodically and typically updated each year. Not that not all tax rates and thresholds in Ghana change annually, alterations to tax policy to support strategic economic growth in Ghana mean that the certain areas may be focused on to provide specific tax relief in Ghana or support growth in certain areas (overseas invstment in Ghana for example may mean reduced non-resident income tax rates in Ghana for a period).
When tax policy in Ghana changes, the resultant tax tables also change. Tax tables in Ghana are simply a list of the relevent tax rates, fixed amounts and / or threholds used in the computation of tax in Ghana, the Ghana tax tables also include specific notes and guidance on the validity of scenarios (for example, qualifying criterea for specific tax relief / allowances) and notes of the calculation of phaseout of specific tax elements within each taxation group (dividends and corporation tax thresholds in Ghana for example).
