Serbisu Salariu iha Timor-Leste
Payroll is where three obligations meet every month: paying staff correctly, withholding wage income tax correctly, and paying social security correctly. Get any of the three wrong and it surfaces — with your employees, with the tax authority, or with INSS.
We run monthly payroll as an outsourced function for employers across Timor-Leste, from three staff to large teams — including NGOs whose donors require payroll supported by timesheets and allocation records.
What's included
- Monthly gross-to-net calculation for each employee
- Wage income tax withholding and the monthly filing behind it
- INSS registration of new employees and monthly contribution filings
- Payslips for staff and a payment file for your bank run
- Leave and allowance tracking where the engagement includes it
- Year-end payroll summaries for the annual tax return and for audits
Why employers outsource payroll here
Two reasons come up again and again. Confidentiality — in small teams, whoever runs payroll knows everyone's salary, and many owners prefer that knowledge to sit outside the office. And compliance — the wage income tax and INSS cycles have to be filed on time every month, and an outsourced function doesn't take annual leave or resign mid-year.
For NGOs there's a third reason: donors increasingly test payroll hard in project audits. Payroll built to be audited — timesheets attached, costs allocated to the right grant lines — saves real pain later. We build it that way because we also sit on the other side of those audits.
Pergunta baibain
How is wage income tax calculated in Timor-Leste?
For resident employees, the first USD 500 of monthly salary is taxed at 0% and the portion above USD 500 at 10%. The employer withholds it from salary and pays it to the tax authority monthly, by the 15th of the following month.
What are the social security contributions?
INSS contributions are 6% of salary from the employer and 4% from the employee, withheld and paid monthly. Registration of the employer and each employee with INSS comes first — we handle that too.
Can you run payroll for just three or four staff?
Yes — small payrolls are common here and priced accordingly. The compliance obligations are identical whether you have three employees or sixty; the fee is not.
