Every month you are required to compute employee withholding tax on the gross amount of remuneration subject to withholding tax. Remuneration subject to withholding tax is the amount of remuneration remaining after the deduction of the amount contributed to the Maldives Retirement Pension Scheme by the employee.
In computing the total remuneration, you must include salaries, wages, allowances and benefits whether or not paid in cash. You must value and include in the remuneration all non-cash benefits not exempt from tax.
