Talk to our Ghana team
The radar.
The Consult-AGE intelligence desk: every signal we are tracking across our two markets, the numbers and deadlines that matter in 2026, field guides in plain English, and the live feeds where the work shows up first.
Rules are moving. Here is what matters.
Fifteen changes across the United States and Ghana that are landing on finance teams right now, each one with the source behind it.
Tips and overtime are now deductible
Above-the-line deductions for qualified tips and for the premium portion of overtime, for tax years 2025 to 2028 only. Tips are capped at $25,000 a year, overtime at $12,500 ($25,000 jointly), both phasing out above $150,000 of modified AGI. Final regulations in April 2026 set out the qualifying occupations. Claimed on the new Schedule 1-A.
Ghana's VAT overhaul is live
Under the Value Added Tax Act, 2025 (Act 1151) the standard rate stays at 15%, but NHIL and GETFund enter the creditable chain as deductible input tax and the 1% COVID-19 levy is repealed. The effective burden falls from 21.9% to about 20%. Pricing, invoicing and input-credit documentation all need a rework.
IRS 2026 inflation adjustments are out
The standard deduction rises to $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married filing jointly, and the estate tax exclusion climbs to $15 million. Time to refresh withholding elections and 2026 planning numbers.
The VAT Flat Rate Scheme is retired
The 3% retailer and 5% real-estate flat rates are gone. Businesses that lived on the scheme must migrate to standard VAT accounting, with full invoice discipline, input-credit tracking and new filing rhythms.
1099-K threshold back to $20,000
Third-party platform reporting reverts to $20,000 and 200 transactions per year, unwinding the $600 threshold. A major paperwork reprieve for casual sellers and small platform businesses.
New VAT registration thresholds
Act 1151 raised the goods threshold to GH¢750,000 and, as first enacted, required every service provider to register regardless of turnover. An amendment assented in August 2026 extended the same GH¢750,000 threshold to services supplied in a twelve-month period. Every Ghana business should re-check where it now stands.
BOI reporting is now foreign-only
A FinCEN final rule issued on 11 August 2026 made the earlier exemptions permanent and went further. Entities formed in the United States are permanently exempt, and so are US persons as beneficial owners. Only foreign reporting companies file, and only for their non-US-person beneficial owners. FinCEN estimates around 28,000 entities remain in scope.
Digital enforcement is coming
Around 40,000 fiscal electronic devices are being deployed for real-time sales monitoring and invoice validation, and the GRA is phasing out paper VAT booklets. An overhaul of the Income Tax Act, 2015 (Act 896) aligned with OECD and ATAF developments is promised, with the draft bill expected in the 2027 budget. Compliance is going machine-readable.
100% bonus depreciation is back, for good
The One Big Beautiful Bill made full first-year expensing permanent for qualified property acquired after 19 January 2025. Equipment-heavy businesses should revisit purchase timing and 2026 projections.
High earners' catch-up contributions go Roth
Employees whose 2025 FICA wages from the sponsoring employer exceeded the indexed threshold, $150,000 for 2026 under Notice 2025-67, must make 401(k) catch-up contributions on a Roth basis. A plan that allows catch-ups must offer Roth, or no participant may make them at all. Good-faith compliance is accepted for 2026.
The E-Levy is gone
The 1% levy on electronic transfers was scrapped in 2025, alongside the betting tax. Businesses that priced it into payment flows and payroll disbursements can simplify, and should confirm processors stopped passing it on.
Ghana PAYE bands have moved
The Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2026 (Act 1178) raised the monthly tax-free band from GH¢490 to GH¢588, exempted workers at or below the minimum wage, and narrowed the lower bands. The presumptive 3% turnover ceiling rose from GH¢500,000 to GH¢750,000. Employers must update their PAYE tables.
Banks now collect VAT on foreign digital services
Participating banks, payment service providers and mobile money operators collect the 20% effective VAT on qualifying non-resident digital services paid for with Ghana-issued instruments. The GRA has confirmed this is a collection mechanism under Act 1151, not a new tax.
Quality management deadlines land in December
Under AICPA SQMS No. 1 the first annual evaluation of a firm's quality management system is due by 15 December 2026. PCAOB QC 1000 takes effect on the same date for firms auditing issuers, reported annually on Form QC. If you are audited, expect your auditors to be documenting this now.
The 1099-NEC threshold rises to $2,000
The long-standing $600 reporting threshold for Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC rises to $2,000 for tax years beginning after 2025, indexed from 2027. Special rules still apply to royalties, attorney, medical and fishing payments, and several states keep lower thresholds of their own.
Numbers worth memorizing.
| Market | Figure | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| US | $16,100 | 2026 standard deduction, single filers. $32,200 married filing jointly. |
| US | $20,000 | 1099-K reporting threshold, restored, and 200 transactions. |
| US | 100% | Bonus depreciation on qualified property, now permanent. |
| US | $15M | Federal estate tax exclusion from 2026. |

| GH | GH¢750k | New VAT registration threshold for suppliers of goods. |
| GH | ~20% | Effective VAT burden after the 2026 reform, down from 21.9%. |
| GH | 0% | COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy and E-Levy, both abolished. |
| GH | GH¢588 | Monthly PAYE tax-free band from 1 September 2026, up from GH¢490. |
| GH | 15th | Day of the month PAYE is due for the previous month's payroll. |

Compliance runs on a clock.
Twelve months, both markets, one map. Dated items below; the monthly drumbeat sits underneath.
| Month | What falls due |
|---|---|

Every month
Ghana: PAYE and withholding taxes by the 15th; VAT and levies by the last working day of the following month. United States: payroll deposits on your IRS schedule.
Typical calendar for December year-ends. Weekends, holidays and your fiscal year shift these dates. We map yours precisely on engagement.
Plain English, no shortcuts.
Short, practical orientations written from engagements rather than textbooks. Each one reads in the time a coffee takes. Open one to read it.
Three months out
Agree the timetable, close the books monthly rather than annually, and start the PBC list, the prepared-by-client schedule of everything the auditors will ask for.
One month out
Reconcile every balance-sheet account, chase supporting documents for the big and unusual items, and resolve related-party and cut-off questions before fieldwork starts.
During fieldwork
One person owns the request list and the turnaround. Slow responses are the single biggest cause of blown audit budgets.
After
Read the management letter carefully. It is a free roadmap of what to fix before next year, and next year's auditors will check.
Start with cash
Clean-ups follow a sequence. Rebuild the bank reconciliations first, because cash anchors everything.
Work outward
Receivables and payables against source documents, payroll against filings, fixed assets against what actually exists.
Then restate
Only after the balances hold do we restate the profit and loss: misclassified expenses, owner transactions, missing accruals.
The finish line
A trial balance a third party can rely on. That is the standard we work to, because our clean-ups are usually followed by someone else's scrutiny: an auditor, a lender, an acquirer or the IRS.
They are different products
A review gives limited assurance. The CPA runs analytics and inquiries and reports that nothing came to their attention. An audit gives reasonable assurance, through testing, confirmation, verification and an opinion.
Reg CF is tiered
Regulation Crowdfunding (Form C) raises are tiered. Smaller raises can use officer-certified or reviewed statements; larger ones require reviewed or audited financials depending on size and on whether it is your first raise.
What the market actually asks for
Institutional investors and lenders often ask for audits regardless of what the rules minimally require. Decide based on where the raise is going, not just where it starts.
What the reform did
Three big things: cut the effective burden to roughly 20% by making NHIL and GETFund deductible as input tax, abolished the COVID-19 levy, and retired the flat-rate scheme that retailers and real estate lived on.
What it demands of you
Check whether you must register or re-register under the new thresholds, reprice with the new math, and tighten invoice discipline. Input credits are only as good as the documents behind them.
What is coming
Fiscal Electronic Devices and e-invoicing. Build for machine-readable compliance now.
Ghana
PAYE withheld and remitted by the 15th, SSNIT contributions, and withholding taxes on many supplier payments.
United States
Federal and state income tax withholding, FICA, unemployment insurance, and deposit schedules that depend on your liability size.
The trap
Treating one market's rhythm as the default. Map each entity's calendar separately, then run them from one controlled process. That is how we set clients up.
Before any proposal
An active SAM.gov registration with a UEI and CAGE code, NAICS codes that match what you actually sell, and financial systems that can survive a government look: timekeeping, cost allocation and clean books.
If federal money flows through you
Yellow Book (GAGAS) rules may follow it, and single-audit thresholds apply to major recipients.
Why it pays to be early
The firms that win are audit-ready before they bid. It shows up in past-performance reviews and keeps awards from turning into findings.
Say it in plain English.
The terms that come up most often on our engagements, without the textbook. Type to filter.
| Term | What it actually means |
|---|---|
| PBC listAudit | The prepared-by-client checklist of documents your auditors will request. Owning it early is half the audit. |
| MaterialityAudit | The size an error must reach before it could change a reader's decision. Auditors design their work around it. |
| Management letterAudit | The auditor's private memo on weaknesses they noticed. Free consulting, if you act on it. |
| Going concernAudit | The assumption your business survives the next twelve months. When auditors doubt it, they must say so publicly. |
| Cut-offAudit | Whether transactions landed in the right period. A classic first-year audit finding. |
| Trial balanceAccounting | Every account and its balance on one page. If it does not tie, nothing downstream can. |
| Yellow Book / GAGASFederal | The US government's stricter auditing standards. If federal money touches you, these may apply. |
| UEI and CAGEFederal | The identification numbers a SAM.gov registration gives you. No UEI, no federal contract. |
| Form CReg CF | The SEC filing behind a Regulation Crowdfunding raise, with financial statements at the required assurance level. |
| NHIL and GETFundGhana VAT | Ghana's health and education levies charged alongside VAT, deductible as input tax from 2026. |
| Withholding VATGhana VAT | Ghana's system where appointed buyers withhold part of the VAT and pay it to the GRA directly. |
| IFRS vs US GAAPReporting | Two rulebooks for the same story. Ghana reports under IFRS, the United States under GAAP. We speak both. |
| Single auditFederal | The extra audit required when an organization spends above the federal threshold of federal awards in a year. |
| Agreed-upon proceduresAssurance | Specific checks you define, reported factually, with no opinion attached. |

- Information you give us. When you contact us, through the website’s contact option, by email, or when you engage us for services, we receive your name, email address, organisation, and whatever you choose to include in your message.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, for security and to keep the site running.
- Social media content. If you allow it (see our Cookie Policy), our pages display live feeds from Facebook and Instagram, which are served by those platforms and may collect data as described in section 4.
- Client information. When we provide audit, tax or advisory services, we handle personal and financial information as part of the engagement. That processing is governed by our engagement letters and by professional and legal confidentiality obligations, in addition to this policy.
The website’s contact button opens your own email application, it does not send your details to a database on this site. We receive your information only when you actually send the email.
3. How we use your information, and our legal basis
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide and administer our services, meet professional, regulatory and legal obligations, keep our website and systems secure, and communicate with you about your matter. Depending on where you are, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent (for example, to load social media content); performance of a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and securing the firm and its website; and compliance with a legal or professional obligation. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects about you.
4. Cookies and third-party content
Our website does not use advertising or analytics tracking cookies of its own. It stores a single small preference in your browser to remember your cookie choice. To show our live Facebook and Instagram feeds we load content from Meta Platforms, Inc. and Curator.io, which may set their own cookies, and we load that content only after you accept. Our typefaces are served from our own website rather than from a third-party font service, so no outside provider receives your IP address to display this page. Full detail, and how to change your choice at any time, is in our Cookie Policy.
5. Who we share information with
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with: service providers who help us run the firm and the website under confidentiality obligations (for example our website host and IT providers); the social media platforms named above, if you consent to their content; professional advisers and our own network where necessary; and regulators, courts or authorities where we are required or permitted by law to do so.
6. International transfers
Because we operate in the United States and Ghana and serve clients internationally, your information may be processed in either country and, through our providers, elsewhere. Wherever it is processed, it receives the same standard of protection set out in this policy. Before information crosses a border we assess the protection available where it is going and put appropriate safeguards in place, including written contractual commitments from the organisations that receive it, confidentiality and security obligations, limits on what they may do with the information, and the specific transfer conditions required under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) and applicable United States requirements. We apply these safeguards as a matter of firm policy, not only where a law compels us to.
7. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose we collected it, and to meet professional, tax, regulatory and legal retention requirements, which, for records connected to our services, can be a number of years. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
8. How we protect information
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, and we require our providers to do the same. No website or system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take our responsibility for your information seriously and review our safeguards regularly.
9. Your rights
Subject to the law that applies to you, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent you have given, and to complain to a regulator. Individuals in Ghana have these rights under the Data Protection Act, 2012; individuals in the EU/UK have them under the GDPR; and residents of certain US states (such as California) have comparable rights under state privacy laws. To exercise any right, email us at and we will respond within the time the law allows.
10. Children’s privacy
Our website and services are intended for businesses, organisations and professionals. They are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Ghana Data Protection Commission
The Consult-AGE is registered as a data controller with Ghana’s Data Protection Commission. If you are in Ghana and believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you may raise it with us first and you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page, and significant changes will be made clear on the website.

Cookie Policy
What we load, what may set a cookie, and how you stay in control, on every visit.
Last updated: 15 September 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website or a third party can store in your browser. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work the same way. Some are strictly necessary for a site to function; others are set by third-party content and can be used to recognise your device across websites.
2. Our approach
We keep this simple. The Consult-AGE website sets no advertising or analytics cookies of its own. The only thing we store ourselves is a small note of your cookie choice, so we can respect it. Anything that could set a third-party cookie, our live Facebook and Instagram feeds, loads only after you accept. Until you do, that content stays switched off. You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.
3. What we use
| What | Provider | Purpose | Category | Loaded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie choice | The Consult-AGE (stored in your browser) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined, so we don’t ask every time | Strictly necessary | Always |
| Facebook Page feed | Meta Platforms, Inc. | Displays our live Facebook updates | Third-party / social | Only after you accept |
| Instagram feed | Curator.io (displaying Instagram) | Displays our live Instagram wall | Third-party / social | Only after you accept |
| Web fonts | Google Fonts | Loads the site’s typefaces; Google receives your IP to serve the fonts but does not set a cookie for this | Functional | Always |
When you accept and our Facebook and Instagram feeds load, Meta and Curator.io may set their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control those cookies, and we’d encourage you to review those providers’ policies if you’d like the detail.
4. Managing your choices
You are in control in two ways. First, use the Cookie preferences link in the website footer to reopen the banner and accept or decline social content. Second, you can manage or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, though blocking some may affect how parts of this or other sites work.
5. Changes
If we add or change the third-party content on our site, we will update this page and the date above. For more on how we handle personal information generally, see our Privacy Policy.
