What are the mandatory pension contribution rates in Kosovo (KPST / Trusti)?
Under Kosovo Law No. 04/L-101 on Pension Funds of Kosovo, mandatory pension contributions are set at 10% of gross salary: 5% deducted from the employee's gross wage, and 5% matched by the employer as a payroll cost. Contributions are remitted directly to the Kosovo Pension Savings Trust (KPST / Trusti).
What are the progressive Personal Income Tax (PIT) brackets in Kosovo?
Under Article 6 of Law No. 05/L-028 on Personal Income Tax, progressive monthly tax brackets applied to taxable income (Gross Salary minus 5% employee pension) are: 0% on €0 - €80; 4% on €80.01 - €250 (max €6.80); 8% on €250.01 - €450 (max €16.00); and 10% on all taxable income exceeding €450.00.
Are KPST pension contributions subject to income tax?
No. Both the 5% employee pension contribution and the 5% employer pension contribution are completely exempt from Personal Income Tax. Taxable wage base is calculated strictly as: Taxable Income = Gross Salary - Employee KPST.
What is the total cost of an employee to the employer in Kosovo?
The total employer cost equals the Gross Contractual Salary plus the 5% Employer Mandatory Pension Contribution: Total Employer Cost = Gross Salary * 1.05. There are currently no statutory employer health insurance or unemployment levies in Kosovo.
How does taxation differ for secondary employment (kontrata dytesore) in Kosovo?
If a worker holds a secondary employment contract, they do not benefit from the progressive €0-€80 0% tax-free band. Instead, taxable salary (Gross minus 5% KPST) from secondary employment is subject to a flat 10% withholding tax rate.
