In Laos, social security contributions made by employees are deductible for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This means that the amounts contributed towards the social security system by employees can be subtracted from their gross income before personal income tax is calculated. This provision helps to reduce the taxable income of employees, potentially lowering their overall tax liability. By allowing these deductions, the Laotian tax system acknowledges the importance of social security contributions and provides a form of financial relief to employees, encouraging participation in the social welfare system.
