Angola's tax system is overseen by the Administracao Geral Tributaria (AGT) and applies a progressive personal income tax known as the Imposto sobre os Rendimentos do Trabalho (IRT) with rates from 0% to 25%, all denominated in the Angolan Kwanza (AOA). Employment income up to AOA 100,000 per month is exempt from tax, with progressive rates of 10% to 25% applying across multiple brackets for higher earners. Angola's social security system is managed by the Instituto Nacional de Seguranca Social (INSS), which requires employees to contribute 3% of their gross salary while employers contribute 8%, for a combined contribution of 11%. These contributions fund pensions, disability benefits, and survivors' benefits for formal sector workers. Angola applies a standard VAT rate of 14% on most goods and services following recent tax reforms, with exemptions for essential foodstuffs, certain medical services, and educational materials. The country's oil-dependent economy has prompted significant tax diversification efforts, including the introduction of VAT in 2019 to replace the old consumption tax. The fiscal year follows the calendar year, and employers must remit withheld PAYE by the last business day of the month following payment. Angola's growing non-oil private sector creates increasing demand for payroll planning tools.
