Assumptions

  • · Liberia has no local or subnational income taxes; only national PIT applies.
  • · Standard deduction of LRD 70,000 is modeled as the first tax-free bracket rather than as a relief allowance, as it functions as an automatic exclusion from taxable income.
  • · Medical tax credit excluded from this model as it requires specific approved expenses and dependent information not available in a generic salary-comparison scenario.
  • · Charitable contribution deduction excluded as it is voluntary and variable.
  • · Non-resident flat rate of 20% not modeled; model assumes resident employee.
  • · Employee social security contribution of 4% (pension scheme) is modeled as a separate deductible employee contribution.
