Individual - Taxes on personal income

Last reviewed - 18 July 2024

The tax system in Honduras is based on a territorial concept of income. Citizens and residents are taxed on income earned from worldwide sources. Non-residents are taxed only on income from Honduran sources, and the tax on any type of income paid to a non-resident must be withheld by the payer.
