Things you should know about income tax

Given the current economic climate, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago has placed even more emphasis on the collection of taxes. There are a few important things I should highlight.

1) All taxpayers are entitled to a Personal Allowance of TT$72,000.00 per year. This means that you do not pay income tax on your first TT$72,000.00 of income, so you pay no income tax at all if you earn less than this amount.



2) Tertiary Education expenses is limited to $60000
3) First time homeowners are limited to $18000
4) Contributions or premiums paid to deferred annuities/tax savings/pension fund plans and 70% NIS contributions is now limited to $50000 annually.

I have attached the link below for further details.
