In Papua New Guinea, contributions made by employees to superannuation funds are considered deductible for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This means that these contributions can reduce the amount of an employee's income that is subject to income tax, thereby potentially lowering their overall tax liability. This provision encourages participation in retirement savings schemes by offering a tax benefit to employees who contribute to their superannuation funds.
