What counts as taxable income in Mozambique
This calculator treats your gross annual employment income, in MZN, as taxable income, then subtracts no standard deduction (none is modelled for this country) and applies the 2026 brackets above.
Salary, bonuses and benefits in kind are usually taxable, while the treatment of pensions, investment income, rental income and foreign income varies by country and by residency status. Social security or pension contributions are not included in the estimate.
