Important: X3 HR & Payroll - Ghana Payroll plan and Report update - Version 12

Good day everyone

  1. The Retirement contributions (SSNIT) impact on the tax calculations for Ghana has been updated as per the following changes:
  • Employer’s retirement contributions to any Tier are not tax deductible.
  • Employer’s retirement contributions to any Tier are not taxable. 

We recommend that this change be implemented at the start of the new tax year e.g., January 2022. 

  1. SSNIT has revised the structure of the SSNIT Contributions Reports to include the NIA(National Identification Authority) numbers of the employees.
  • A column has been added for the NIA number on the SSNIT report/s.
  • The effective date of the report is November 2021.

Attached is the following:
