Chad | Finance Law 2025 – Changes to Tax Exemptions in Article 3 of the General Tax Code

The Ministry of Finance and Budget has introduced key updates to Article 3 of the General Tax Code, effective 1 January 2025, impacting tax exemptions on certain salaries. These changes will affect payroll calculations for the 2025 tax year.

 

Key update: Expanded and Extended Salary Tax Exemptions

Previously, salaries paid to young graduates under 35, workers hired by companies under the standard taxation regime, and employees with disabilities were tax-exempt for three years. However, the 2025 amendments introduce two major changes:

  • The exemption period for young graduates under the age of 35 and workers recruited by companies under the standard tax regime has been extended from three to five years, providing a longer tax benefit.
  • The exemption for employees with disabilities now applies indefinitely to all individuals with disabilities, regardless of whether they work in the public or private sector.
