Tax in Madagascar

Tax In Madagascar

One of the most consistently challenging aspects of contracting in Madagascar is complying with the country’s tax system. Whether you’re a contractor or a permanent employee, you have to pay tax on all of your earnings whilst you’re in the country. As well as paying tax in Madagascar, you might also still be eligible to pay some tax in your home country, and understanding the legislation behind this can be a challenge. Do you get double taxation in Madagascar? It will depend on your nationality and the nature of your assignment in Madagascar. Getting to grips with the basics of income tax in Madagascar and understanding your options helps you work out the best way to organise your affairs.

Paying Income Tax in Madagascar through Your Employer

If you’re working in Madagascar under a permanent contract, many employers will handle your tax under the PAYE (pay-as-you-earn) system. This means that they calculate and process your taxes in Madagascar for you and then send you a net wage. Your income tax, public health insurance, social security and other deductions will all be covered by this payment. This is the easiest way to handle your income tax in Madagascar, but contractors may not be offered this service because of their short stay with each employer.

Working Out Income Tax in Madagascar Yourself

Anybody who can’t pay their tax in Madagascar through PAYE is left with the prospect of filing a tax return and doing everything themselves. Do you know much about Madagascan Tax Law? Does Madagascar have a tax treaty with your home country? You will need to find out or find someone who can help! Not only does this eat into your free time, it’s also exceptionally difficult to get the most out of the system. The rules change frequently, so if you’re new to it you may be working on out-dated research and end up paying too much. Income tax in Madagascar can be a burden, and you need to be sure you are placed in the correct tax brackets.

Using an Umbrella Company for Income Tax in Madagascar

Contractors in Madagascar are faced with masses of paperwork and numerous wasted hours filing a tax return unless they find an alternative option. A Madagascan umbrella company can act as your employer during your stay in the country whilst still allowing you the freedom of a contractor. The only difference is that you submit your timesheets to them; they’ll calculate and pay your taxes as you earn, and then you receive a net wage (as well as documentation for your records). The companies are experts in Madagascar taxation, and they’ll ensure that you keep the largest proportion of your earnings whilst complying with local laws. They can deal with any issues with the Madagascan tax office or tax department directly including processing your tax refund if you are eligible.
