Tax In Sudan

One of the most consistently challenging aspects of contracting in Sudan 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 Sudan, 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 Sudan? It will depend on your nationality and the nature of your assignment in Sudan. Getting to grips with the basics of income tax in Sudan and understanding your options helps you work out the best way to organise your affairs.

Paying Income Tax in Sudan through Your Employer

If you’re working in Sudan 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 Sudan 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 Sudan, but contractors may not be offered this service because of their short stay with each employer.

Working Out Income Tax in Sudan Yourself

Anybody who can’t pay their tax in Sudan through PAYE is left with the prospect of filing a tax return and doing everything themselves. Do you know much about Sudanese Tax Law? Does Sudan 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, but 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 The rules change frequently, so if you’re new to it you may be working on outdated research and end up paying too much. Income tax in Sudan 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 Sudan

Contractors in Sudan are faced with masses of paperwork and numerous wasted hours filing a tax return unless they find an alternative option. A Sudanese umbrella company can act as your employer during your stay in the country whilst still allowing you the freedom of a contractor.

They can deal with any issues with the Sudanese tax office or tax department directly including processing your tax refund if you are eligible.
