Angola: Covid-19 Social Security measures – effective from April 2020

SUGGESTED

From discussion with some in country Angola teams, it seems that the social security would still be tax deductible for personal income tax purposes for the employee even though the contribution should not be remitted.  In saying that anitas post shows steps to remove the Social security contribution in it's entirety for the employee.  How will the tax deductible portion be calculated then?

    Hi Francois, thank you for responding, I will ask for the backup seeing that most communication is published in Portuguese.  In essence if the social security relief is not applied the personal income tax would increase which would be more than the 3% social security that does not need to deducted from the EE.  I don't think that it this the intention of this by the Angola Government as the purpose would be to provide relief to employees and not increase their taxes.
