Methodology & sources

Methodology - Chad (2026)

Educational model - not tax advice. Currency XAF (Franc CFA BEAC). Employment income is taxed under the IRPP, categorie traitements et salaires, following the Loi 021/PR/2017 reform.

Employee (Contrat de travail, IRPP traitements et salaires)

  • The only mandatory employee social contribution is the CNPS pension (vieillesse, invalidite et deces), employee share 3.5%, on a cotisable salary capped at 500,000 XAF/month (6,000,000 XAF/year). It is deductible before IRPP.
  • IRPP is computed on annual taxable salary (annual gross minus the deductible 3.5% CNPS), rounded down to the nearest 1,000 XAF, on the annual barème: 0% up to 800,000; 10% from 800,000 to 2,500,000; 20% from 2,500,000 to 7,500,000; 30% above 7,500,000. There is no personal allowance: the 800,000 XAF/year exempt band (about 66,667 XAF/month) plays that role.
  • The Loi 021/PR/2017 reform abolished the former family quotient, the 40% professional abatement and the 4% rebate. This calculator models the standard single resident employee with no special allowances claimed.
  • Employer cost: CNPS family allowances and maternity 7.5% + work accidents 4% + pension employer share 5% = 16.5% of the cotisable salary, base capped at 500,000 XAF/month. It does not affect the employee net.
  • Out of scope: the 15% operating-cost exemption, the 30% transport-allowance exemption, family allowances (5,000 XAF/child/month), benefits in kind, deductible interest and alimony, the fixed ONASA levy (40 XAF/month, not income tax), and the non-resident treatment. The 4-bracket barème and the 500,000 XAF/month ceiling are provisional (a competing 6-bracket PwC schedule exists but appears pre-reform).

Self-employed (travailleur independant, BIC/BNC/BA)

  • Net business profit (revenue minus deductible business expenses under the Code General des Impots) is taxed at the same IRPP barème as salary: 0% up to 800,000; 10% to 2,500,000; 20% to 7,500,000; 30% above. The taxable base is rounded down to the nearest 1,000 XAF. There is no salaried-style 15% operating-cost allowance; actual deductible charges apply instead.
  • Self-employed persons are not covered by the mandatory wage-earner CNPS scheme by default, so the 3.5% employee and 16.5% employer CNPS contributions do not apply (net = profit minus IRPP). Voluntary CNPS affiliation is not modelled.
  • Out of scope: the Taxe Professionnelle Synthetique (TPS) forfait regime for small operators below the turnover threshold (thresholds and rate not confirmed from a primary source), and the Impot Minimum Forfaitaire (IMF) minimum tax on business income (rate not confirmed).
