3% social security contribution

conface

Hi guys, i read from the government website saying that a social security deduction of 3% on the monthly should be made to the Gov...is this only happening to the locals?  Any °µÍø½ûÇø here experienced such deduction b4?

Thanks ;)

as I understand it, °µÍø½ûÇøs dont pay the 3% for the first 2 years and then its capped at just under Rp8,000. Not sure if this is per month or per year though.

No as per my understanding it is not for °µÍø½ûÇø

OK here's the definative answer, according to the government website:



Main points are, yes non-citizens i.e. °µÍø½ûÇøs, pay 3% NPS (national pension scheme) contributions from year 3, unless they are self employed, when it is voluntary. The cap is on a monthly salary of Rs 9040 or about £227. So the most you would pay is 3% of £227 or £6.81 per month (Rs271). So don't worry too much its not going to kill you!

That is very helpful, thank you guys.

So can i safely say that our empployer only deduct 15% income tax & 3% NPS (starting year 3 for °µÍø½ûÇø) from our gross pay every month and nothing else?  Hope there r no more deductions...
