In the Isle of Man, employee tax deductions encompass income tax, national insurance, and potentially superannuation contributions, impacting an employee's net pay.
Income Tax
Income tax is calculated based on an employee's taxable income after deducting allowances. As of the 2024/25 tax year, the personal allowance for a single person is £14,500. This allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 earned over £100,000. For married couples or civil partners electing joint assessment, the combined allowance is £29,000, subject to the same reduction for income over £200,000. Additional allowances exist for single parents or co-habiting couples with children (£6,400) and blind or disabled persons (£2,900).
Tax rates for residents are 10% on income up to £6,500 and 22% on income above that threshold, after allowance deductions. Non-residents are taxed at a flat rate of 22%. Income tax is typically deducted through the Income Tax Instalment Payments (ITIP) system operated by employers.
National Insurance
National Insurance contributions fund benefits such as state pensions and healthcare. Both employers and employees contribute. Contributions are calculated based on earnings and categorized into different classes with specific thresholds and rates. The rates and bands for the 2024/2025 tax year are not defined in the available documentation.
Superannuation
Superannuation, similar to a pension, is not mandatory but common in the Isle of Man. Employees often contribute a percentage of their salary, and employers may also make contributions. Superannuation contributions are typically deducted from an employee's gross pay.
Other Deductions and Reliefs
Several other deductions and reliefs can reduce an employee's overall tax liability. These include:
- Charitable Donations: Relief is available at 10% for donations exceeding £100, up to a limit of £7,000 per year.
- Mortgage and Loan Interest: Relief is restricted to 10% on interest up to £5,000 annually.
- Private Medical Insurance and Nursing Expenses: Relief at 10%.
- Professional Subscriptions: For subscriptions required for employment.
