Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer GH₵ 1,062 to pay you GH₵ 8,167. In other words, every time you spend GH₵ 10 of your hard-earned money, GH₵ 2.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.9% tax rate now rises to 20.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
