Comoros
Tools

The Comoros' tax system is managed by the Direction Generale des Impots (DGI) and applies a progressive personal income tax known as the Impot sur le Revenu (IR) with rates from 0% to 30%, denominated in the Comorian Franc (KMF). The Comoros, an archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, operates a relatively straightforward tax system compared to larger African economies. The progressive income tax bands provide exemptions for the lowest earners, with rates increasing gradually to the maximum 30% rate on higher income levels. Social security contributions in the Comoros are managed through the Caisse de Retraite des Comores, with employees contributing approximately 2% of gross salary and employers contributing around 8% to cover retirement and basic social insurance benefits. The formal social security system primarily covers public sector employees and registered private sector workers. The Comoros applies a general consumption tax on goods and services, with exemptions for essential items including basic foodstuffs and medical products. The fiscal year follows the calendar year, and employers are responsible for withholding income tax from employee salaries and remitting it to the DGI within established deadlines. The Comorian Franc is pegged to the Euro through a cooperation agreement with France, providing relative monetary stability. The economy is driven by agriculture, fishing, and remittances from the Comorian diaspora.
