Payroll in Lesotho

The assessment year in Lesotho consists of a 12-month period starting 1 April to 31 March.  There are no social security systems in Lesotho for employed persons.  Lesotho does make use of the Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) system and the employer is required to remit the income taxes to the Lesotho Revenue Authority.  Residents are taxed on their worldwide income.  Non-residents are only subject to taxes on their Lesotho-sourced income.  

Tax Residents

An individual will qualify as a tax resident if he/she

• is a Ghana citizen that does not have a permanent home outside Ghana in a calendar year;

• is present in the country for 183 days in any 12-month period; or

• is a citizen with a permanent home in Ghana, but temporarily outside of the country for a period not longer than 365 continuous days.  Resident individuals are taxed on a sliding scale from 0% and 25%, while non-residents are subject to a flat rate tax of 20%.

Taxable Income

Benefits subject to fringe benefits tax are excluded from employment income.  Pension income is taxed in accordance to any other income.  Both residents and non-residents would be liable for capital gains tax should they dispose of business or investment assets. This also applies to a resident's assets located anywhere in the world.   

Exempt Income

​

The following income would be exempted from taxes: 

1. Income derived from subsistence farming;

2. The first LSL 500 of interest derived from a single savings account;

3. Dividends received from a resident company.
