Is income tax withheld from compensation for unused leave?
Is income tax calculated when compensation for unused leave is paid to an employee at their primary place of employment?
When an employee is paid compensation for unused leave days, specific tax rules apply to the taxation of this amount.
When compensation for unused leave is paid, the compensation amounts relating to each full working year are calculated separately. In addition, compensation for unused leave relating to the current working year is also considered separately and is not added to the salary for the month in which the payment is made.
These compensation amounts are subject to personal income tax and mandatory state social insurance contributions. In other words, the fact that the compensation is paid separately from the salary does not exempt it from taxation.
For income tax purposes, a 200 AZN tax allowance established under Article 102.1.6 of the Tax Code is deducted from the compensation amount calculated separately for each working year. Income tax is then calculated on the remaining amount.
For example, if an employee receives 1,000 AZN in compensation for unused leave from a previous working year, a 200 AZN allowance is applied for income tax purposes, and taxation is calculated on the remaining 800 AZN.
Therefore, when compensation for unused leave is paid, it is important to determine which working year the compensation relates to and to calculate the compensation separately for each working year.
