Zambia
Tax Highlights

Zambia has a source-based income taxation system under the Income Tax Act. Income deemed to be derived from Zambia is generally subject to Zambian income tax. Zambian residents are also taxed on interest and dividends received from sources outside Zambia. In general, both Zambian and non-Zambian residents pay the same rates. In practice, the only way for non-Zambian residents' income to be taxed at these rates would be on Zambian-source emoluments from employment or office under pay-as-you-earn (PAYE). Non-Zambian residents' other Zambian-sourced income may be subject to withholding tax (WHT).
