Algeria's tax system is administered by the Direction Generale des Impots (DGI) and features a progressive personal income tax known as the Impot sur le Revenu Global (IRG) with rates ranging from 0% to 35%, all denominated in the Algerian Dinar (DZD). The first DZD 240,000 of annual income is exempt from tax, providing a meaningful threshold for lower earners, while the top rate of 35% applies to annual income exceeding DZD 4,800,000. Employees in Algeria face mandatory social security contributions of approximately 9% of gross salary, covering retirement, health insurance, and unemployment insurance under the Caisse Nationale des Assurances Sociales (CNAS). Employers bear a significantly higher burden at approximately 26% of gross payroll, making Algeria one of the countries with the highest employer social charges in North Africa. The national minimum wage (SNMG) is regularly revised and currently stands at DZD 20,000 per month. Algeria applies a standard VAT rate of 19% on most goods and services, with a reduced rate of 9% on essential items including basic foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural inputs. The fiscal year aligns with the calendar year, and PAYE must be withheld and remitted monthly by employers within the first 20 days of the following month. Algeria's hydrocarbon-driven economy means that many tax incentives exist for non-oil sectors to encourage economic diversification.
