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 expat here experienced such deduction b4?

Thanks

as I understand it, expats 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.

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

http://www.gov.mu/portal/site/ssnssite/ … 6a12acRCRD

Main points are, yes non-citizens i.e. expats, 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 expat) from our gross pay every month and nothing else? Hope there r no more deductions...
