DRC - Clarification on the application of the Tax Reduction

The DRC tax authority(DGI) has now provided clarity on how the tax reduction should be applied and this should be applicable from 01 January 2019.  It was communicated to the general public on 2 July 2019.

According to section 1(1.2)(2) on page 1 of the Notice:

  • The tax reduction is 2% per dependant and it now applies to each tax bracket.

 This means the maximum tax reduction per dependant of FC5 946 no longer applies.

More information on how the change will be applied on the Payroll will be coming soon.
