Ghana Revenue Authority sets 10% withholding tax on gaming winnings
Ghana Revenue Authority Commissioner Edward Gyambrah said the authority would require a 10% deduction from gross gains across betting, gaming, lottery and other games of chance from 15 August 2023. The report says the policy had applied to casinos, route operators and marketing promotions since 1 June, while private lotteries and sports betting were expected to join on 15 August; lottery operators also owe 20% tax on gross gaming revenue each month.
Covered operators must deduct tax from gross gains, while lottery operators also owe monthly tax on gross gaming revenue.
