Vanuatu Statutory & Regulatory Overview
This calculator provides accurate calculations compliant with the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, including the Vanuatu National Provident Fund (VNPF) Act (Cap 189), Employment Act (Cap 160), Department of Customs and Inland Revenue (DCIR), and Utilities Regulatory Authority (URA).
- Zero Personal Income Tax: Vanuatu operates as a pure zero-tax jurisdiction with no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, and no corporate income tax. Formal employees only have a 4.0% VNPF superannuation contribution withheld from salary.
- VNPF Contribution Rules: Both employee and employer contribute 4.0% each (total 8.0%) of basic remuneration. Balances accrue annual interest and can be borrowed against for housing or microfinance loans.
- Employment Act Protections: Full-time workers are protected by statutory severance under Section 56 (1 month's salary per year of continuous service), minimum 15 days annual leave, 21 days paid sick leave, and overtime premium multipliers (1.25x workday, 1.5x rest day, 2.0x public holiday).
