International Global Payroll and Taxation in Turkmenistan

Employment related taxes

Personal Income tax (PIT). Personal income tax (PIT) is generally levied by withholding at source when the payment is made by withholding agents (i.e. resident legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, and permanent establishments [PEs] of non-resident legal entities). This does not apply to business income of individual entrepreneurs, who are required to apply the self-assessment procedure.

Residents. Residents are generally taxed in Turkmenistan on their worldwide income, including in-kind benefits such as meals, housing, relocation, etc.

Non-residents. Non-residents are taxed in Turkmenistan only on their income derived from Turkmenistan sources (e.g. from their activities performed in Turkmenistan).

Nontaxable payments. In order to increase the level of agricultural production the farmers are exempted form the VAT and partially from the tax on profit.

Social security contributions

Pension insurance payments. Employees may participate in a voluntary pension insurance, the minimum rate for which is established at 2% of total remuneration. Income paid to expatriate employees should not be subject to the pension insurance payments.

Payroll Cycle in Turkmenistan

The employee’s wages are paid at least every half month.
