The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced an extension for the filing of second quarter Corporate Income Tax (CIT), Personal Income Tax (PIT), and May 2026 Value Added Tax (VAT), National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL), and Communications Service Tax (CST) following heavy rains and flooding in Accra and surrounding areas.
Originally due on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the new deadline has been moved to Monday, July 6, 2026. The Authority assured taxpayers that no late filing penalties will apply if obligations are met by the revised date.
According to the GRA, the measure is intended to provide relief to businesses and individuals affected by the floods, while ensuring uninterrupted tax administration. Taxpayers are encouraged to make use of the Authority’s digital platforms to complete filings within the extended period.
The release reaffirmed GRA’s commitment to integrity, fairness, and service, noting that the extension underscores its responsiveness to national emergencies.
Issued on July 1, 2026, the statement concluded with the Authority’s slogan: “Know Your Taxes, Pay Your Taxes, Let’s Build Ghana!”
