Youth Income Tax Reduction: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Young employees working at small or medium enterprises can receive a significant reduction in their income tax for a five-year period.

This scheme allows young workers to pay significantly less income tax for a set period of time.

Who it's for

This reduction is available to employees working at small or medium-sized enterprises who are between the ages of 15 and 34.

What you get

If you qualify, you can receive a 90% reduction in your income tax for a duration of five years.

What it costs you

There is no direct cost to you, but the process requires your employer to submit the necessary application to the tax service on your behalf.

The catch to know

The benefit is strictly limited to those working at small or medium enterprises; it does not apply if you are employed by a large conglomerate.

How to apply

  1. Confirm your age meets the requirements.
  2. Verify that your employer is classified as a small or medium enterprise.
  3. Request that your employer submits the application to the tax service.
  4. Check your tax filings to ensure the reduction is being applied.
