The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has stepped in to clarify lingering questions about service charges and taxes in restaurants, putting an end to confusion among patrons and business owners alike. According to the GTA, transparency in billing is key to protecting consumers and maintaining industry standards.
Officials explained how service charges should be applied, the legal obligations for restaurants, and how taxes factor into the final bill. The clarification has been welcomed by both diners and restaurateurs, who say it will reduce disputes and ensure fair practices across the hospitality sector.
With the GTA laying down clear guidelines, Ghana’s restaurant scene is set to become more professional, accountable, and customer-friendly—making every dining experience a little less confusing.
