Eritrea's tax system is managed by the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and applies a progressive personal income tax with rates from 0% to 30%, denominated in the Eritrean Nakfa (ERN). Employment income is taxed through a series of progressive bands, with the lowest earners exempt from tax and rates increasing to the maximum 30% on higher income levels. Eritrea's tax framework also includes a 2% rehabilitation and recovery tax levied on the income of citizens both domestically and in the diaspora. Social security contributions in Eritrea are managed by the government, with employees typically contributing a percentage of their salary towards pension and social insurance schemes. The formal social security system covers government employees and registered private sector workers, though coverage in the broader economy remains limited. Eritrea applies a sales tax on goods and services, with rates varying by category and exemptions for essential items including basic foodstuffs and medical supplies. The fiscal year follows the calendar year, and employers are responsible for withholding income tax from employee salaries and remitting it to the IRD within established deadlines. Eritrea's economy is driven by mining, agriculture, and the services sector, with the mining industry particularly attracting foreign investment in gold, copper, and zinc extraction. The Nakfa's fixed exchange rate policy makes currency conversion tools particularly important for businesses operating across borders.
