Understanding Employment Taxes in Equatorial Guinea
Labor taxation and social contributions in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea are administered jointly by the Direccion General de Impuestos y Contribuciones (DGIC) and the Instituto Nacional de Seguridad Social (INSESO):
1. INSESO Social Protection
Every contracted worker is entitled to retirement pensions, invalidity annuities, maternity leave allowances, and workplace accident compensation financed by the 4.5% worker and 21.5% employer contributions.
2. Deductibility of Social Contributions
The 4.5% INSESO employee contribution is fully deductible from gross pay before calculating the taxable base for IRPP, preventing double taxation on mandatory retirement savings.
3. Family Quotient Tax Relief
To support family welfare, taxpayers receive a 5% direct deduction from their IRPP tax liability for each registered child under 21 (or studying under 25), capped at 20%.
4. Oil & Gas Expat Regime
Expatriates stationed in Malabo, Punta Europa, or offshore platforms are subject to monthly PAYE withholding by their employing entities, filed with the Ministry of Finance monthly.
