Comply with Local and International Payroll Standards in Cameroon
Payroll in Cameroon
Cameroon's tax year is a calendar year, ending on 31 December of each year. Income taxes are calculating on a sliding scale running from 11% to 38.5%. It is required by the employer to deduct taxes from the employee's salaries and remit the funds to the authorities before the 15th of each month. This however is not required should the employee earn less than XAF 62 000 per month.
Tax Residents
All individuals with a fiscal domicile in Cameroon, in principle, will be taxed on their worldwide income. Foreign individuals who are staying in Cameroon for 183 days or more are subject to Cameroon payroll taxes and social contributions, unless they prove that the job function they are performing in Cameroon is of an accessory nature.
Taxable Income 2018 / 2019
Personal gross income includes categories such as employment income, income from stocks and shares, from real property, commercial income and more. Each taxable income is assessed by its own special rules.
The basis of the assessment for employment income is the gross amount of all wages, salaries, pensions, annuities, as well as benefits in cash or kind. Benefits in kind are assessed on the following based on the taxable income: Housing 15%; Electricity 4%; Water 2%; per vehicle 10%; Food 10%
Exempt Income 2018 / 2019
The basis of assessment for employment income is the gross amount of all wages, salaries, annuities and pensions as well as any benefits in kind or in cash.
There are however a wide range of allowances that are exempted from tax, which includes, but not limited to, family allowances and benefits, benefits that are paid by any state authority by virtue of the law, special allowance to cover inherent duty, temporary allowances, benefits and life annuities that are paid to victims of an industrial accident or other rightful claims. Vacation fare for an expatriate worker or their family is also not taxable.
