Eswatini
Tools

Eswatini's tax system is administered by the Eswatini Revenue Authority (SRA) and applies a progressive personal income tax (PAYE) with rates from 0% to 33%, denominated in the Lilangeni (SZL), which is pegged at parity to the South African Rand (ZAR). The progressive tax structure includes a tax-free threshold, with rates increasing through intermediate bands before reaching the top marginal rate of 33% on higher incomes. Employees contribute to the Eswatini National Provident Fund (ENPF) for social security, with the employee share at 5% of gross salary and employers contributing a matching 5%, for a combined contribution of 10%. The ENPF provides retirement, disability, and survivors' benefits. Eswatini applies a standard VAT rate of 15% on most goods and services, harmonised with the Southern African Customs Union framework, with zero-rating on essential food items, exports, and exemptions for financial services and residential rentals. The fiscal year runs from April to March, and employers must withhold PAYE and remit it to the SRA monthly. Eswatini's economy is driven by sugar production, soft drink concentrate manufacturing, textiles, and forestry. The dual currency circulation of the Lilangeni and the South African Rand means that payroll calculations often need to account for both currencies. Eswatini's proximity to and economic integration with South Africa significantly shapes its labour market and tax landscape.
