The full Guide

Payroll withholding and social contributions

Employers withhold personal income tax at source on salaries under the Income Tax Proclamation No. 24/2011. Eritrea does not operate a broad, well-documented mandatory national social-security contribution scheme comparable to neighbouring countries; arrangements should be confirmed locally as several figures here are uncertain.
