If there is no requirement to have a local director or shareholder in Ghana, what is a foreigner required to do to register a company for tax purposes and other similar post-incorporation registrations?

After incorporation, a wholly foreign-owned company is required to register with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) so far as revenue is derived within Ghana from its operations. A company that is liable to pay tax is also required to obtain an organisational taxpayer identification number (TIN) from the GRA. The TIN is also used by companies for purposes of identification. A company with foreign participation is also enjoined by law, after its incorporation and before commencing its operations, to register with the GIPC.
