Vehicle Income Tax (VIT) sticker in Ghana: how much for a taxi, trotro, Bolt car or truck, the short code, and the quarterly dates

Q: How much is vehicle income tax in Ghana?

It depends on the vehicle class on GRA's table. A taxi pays GH¢12 a quarter (GH¢48 a year), a trotro of up to 15 seats GH¢16 a quarter, a 24 to 32 seat trotro GH¢30 a quarter, a hiring saloon car GH¢80 a quarter, an articulated truck GH¢200 a quarter.

Every commercial vehicle in Ghana pays income tax four times a year through a windscreen sticker. The amount is fixed by vehicle class, not by how much you earned. Here is GRA's full table, the four dates, where to buy it, and what changed for Bolt, Uber and Yango drivers.

How to pay

Go to any GRA Domestic Tax Revenue Office with the vehicle's registration and buy the quarter's sticker; GRA's page also shows the short code *222# and payment through Ghana.gov. GRA does not publish the menu steps, so dial and follow the prompts.
Paste the sticker on the front windscreen. GRA says monitoring is done with the help of the Ghana Police Service.
Keep the receipt. VIT is income tax paid in advance: it is credited when your annual return is assessed, so the receipt is money.

The four dates

Quarter	Buy on or before
January to March	15 January
April to June	15 April
July to September	15 July
October to December	15 October

GRA does not publish a fixed fine for driving without the sticker. Late payment falls under the general penalties of the Revenue Administration Act, and a police stop costs a day's takings whatever the fine is.

Bolt, Uber and Yango drivers

From 1 January 2024 the ride-hailing companies must require proof of VIT from every driver on their platform. The driver registers once at a GRA office and then pays quarterly, under the same Regulation 22 as taxis (Public Sector Magazine, December 2023). On GRA's table a saloon hiring car is class B1, GH₵ 80 a quarter; a 4×4 is B2, GH₵ 120 a quarter.

The other half: your record

VIT is a fixed advance. The real income tax is settled on your actual profit in the annual return by 30 April, and a driver who cannot show a record pays on GRA's estimate. Sales to the owner, fuel, the mate, dues and repairs said into your phone each day is the record that argues for you. Where a driver's day money goes, with a calculator.

Questions drivers ask

How much is vehicle income tax in Ghana?

By class: taxi GH₵ 12 a quarter, trotro GH₵ 16 to 30, hiring saloon GH₵ 80, 4×4 GH₵ 120, trucks GH₵ 35 to 200. Full table above.

What is the VIT short code?

GRA's page shows *222#. It does not publish the menu, so dial it and follow the prompts, or buy at the office.

When is it due?

On or before 15 January, 15 April, 15 July and 15 October.

Is VIT the same as the tax stamp?

No. The tax stamp is for informal traders and artisans (GH₵ 3 to 45 a quarter). VIT is for commercial vehicles. Both are advance payments, not final tax; the annual return is still due 30 April.

Does an okada pay VIT?

Motorbikes are not on GRA's table. Ask at the office.
