South Sudan PAYE Tax Guide 2025/26

South Sudan uses a progressive PAYE system administered by the National Revenue Authority (NRA). The Financial Act FY 2023/24 raised the monthly exemption to SSP 20,000 and replaced the earlier three-band schedule with a five-band structure running from 0% to 20%.

Employers must withhold PAYE monthly and remit to the NRA by the 15th of the following month. Separately, the National Social Insurance Fund Act 2023 provides for 8% employee and 17% employer social insurance contributions on gross wages. These are shown separately from PAYE on this page.

The table below shows the current NRA monthly tax bands. This calculator applies the Financial Act FY 2023/24 band structure to monthly gross salary and shows the resulting PAYE, employee NSIF deduction, and employer payroll cost.

Yes. The Financial Act FY 2023/24 raised the monthly exemption to SSP 20,000. PAYE starts at 5% on wages above that threshold.

What social security contributions apply in South Sudan?

Employees contribute 8% of gross salary to the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF). Employers contribute 17%. These are separate from PAYE — social security contributions are not deductible from taxable income for PAYE purposes.

When must employers pay PAYE to the NRA?

PAYE must be filed and paid to the National Revenue Authority (NRA) by the 15th of the month following the payroll month. Late payments attract penalty interest. Employers must submit a monthly PAYE return even if no tax is due for that period.

Who administers PAYE in South Sudan?

The National Revenue Authority (NRA) administers income tax collection in South Sudan. Employers are responsible for withholding PAYE from employee salaries each month and remitting to the NRA. The NRA also oversees the NSIF social insurance contributions.

Are there any PAYE exemptions or deductions available?

South Sudan's PAYE system is relatively straightforward. The current exemption is SSP 20,000 per month, and certain approved pension contributions may be deductible under the Financial Act FY 2023/24. Verify employer-specific deductions with the NRA.

Calculation methodology

The calculator annualizes salary where needed, applies modeled employee statutory deductions, runs taxable income through the country PAYE bands, and derives net pay from gross pay minus modeled PAYE and statutory deductions. Employer-cost lines are informational where the page exposes them.

Known limitations

  • Informational estimate only. It is not professional tax, legal, payroll, or filing advice.
  • Sector-specific, regional, treaty, relief, and special-regime rules may not be fully modeled.
  • Confirm filing, registration, and remittance duties with the official authority or a qualified adviser before submission.

Test-case examples

Input: Annual gross salary: 0.
Expected: PAYE and statutory deductions should be 0 and net pay should not be negative.
Why: Establishes the zero-income baseline and catches negative liability regressions.

Input: Annual gross salary entered in the page currency.
Expected: Taxable income is processed through the visible country bands and net pay equals gross pay minus modeled deductions.
Why: Confirms the calculator is using the documented methodology rather than an opaque flat estimate.
