Employment income

Compensation includes salary, premiums, living allowances, housing allowances, tax reimbursements, benefits-in-kind, house, car, retirement benefits, and any other compensation-in-kind. There is no concession to a foreign employee.

Non-residents are liable only for the applicable withholding taxes (WHTs), depending on the nature of the local income.

For no‑resident sellers, the purchaser must withhold 4% of the transaction value as an advance payment of the tax.
When the payer is a government entity, a 10% withholding tax applies to capital gains arising from purchases, indemnifications, and transfers of rights or securities.
