The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has reminded the public that a 10% tax on gross winnings from lotteries, betting, gaming, and other games of chance will be enforced starting January 1st, 2024.
Both the National Lottery Authority (NLA) and private lotto operators (PLOs) are subject to this tax. Although facing criticism from punters, the GRA underscores the importance of this tax for generating revenue and contributing to national development.
The enforcement follows the end of a six-month grace period granted for preparation. Non-compliance may result in penalties under Section 78 of the Revenue Administration Act, 2016 (Act 915).
