Assumptions

• · Model assumes a resident individual with gross employment income only.
• · Personal allowance of XCD 25,000 is applied as a standard deduction against gross income to determine chargeable income.
• · Income tax brackets are applied to chargeable income (after personal allowance).
• · National Insurance Corporation (NIC) contribution of 5% is calculated on gross salary with a monthly maximum of XCD 250 (annual cap of XCD 3,000). It is deductible from gross income before income tax.
• · Other personal allowances and deductions are numerous and highly dependent on individual circumstances (spouse status, children, mortgage, insurance, medical expenses, charitable donations, etc.).

• · VAT, property tax, stamp duty, and excise taxes are consumption or transaction-based and excluded from employment income tax modeling.
• · No employer-only charges are included.
• · No voluntary schemes or optional tax regimes are included.
