How to Enable GRA e-VAT Compliance on AstaBill

Once you're VAT-registered with GRA, you can switch on e-VAT compliance in AstaBill. After that, every invoice you create will automatically include the GRA verification details.

Step 1 — Enable VAT registration

1. Go to Settings → Compliance & Reporting.
2. Under Ghana tax and compliance, tick Registered for VAT with GRA.
3. Enter your VAT number (e.g. V0012345678).
4. Select your Business type (Goods, Services, or Mixed) and Tax scheme (Standard VAT).
5. Click Save Changes.

Step 2 — Enter your VSDC credentials

1. Still on Settings → Compliance & Reporting, scroll down to the GRA VSDC Credentials section.
2. Enter your Security Key — issued by GRA during VSDC onboarding.
3. Enter your Company Reference — also issued by GRA.
4. Enter your API Host URL — the GRA API endpoint issued to your business. It starts with https://.
5. Click Save Changes.

From this point, all new invoices with VAT will be submitted to GRA automatically when you send them. AstaBill stamps the invoice with the GRA verification code, QR code, and certification timestamp.

All three VSDC credentials are required — security key, company reference, and API host URL. Without all three, AstaBill cannot submit invoices to GRA for certification. All three are issued by GRA at gra.evatgra.com during VSDC onboarding. This feature is available on the Growth and Business plans.
