How are creators taxed in Ghana?

The Modified Taxation Scheme is a simplified scheme for resident informal-sector workers. Businesses with average annual sales up to GH¢ 20,000 pay a fixed amount, those with sales above GH¢ 20,000 and up to GH¢ 500,000 pay 3% of turnover, and others pay on profit. Registration needs a Ghana Card and a Ghana Post GPS address and can be done on the MTS Taxpayer App, at a GRA office or through a trade association. Professionals with formal qualifications do not qualify for the presumptive options.
