Workers in PNG to save through Tax free threshold

Papua New Guinean workers will actually be saving some money through the increases in the tax free threshold.

Commissioner of Tax at the Internal Revenue Commission, Dr Alois Daton told NBC News, contrary to the misconceptions - there are no increases in personal income tax.

"If like, K10,600.00 is your annual income, and your fortnightly income would be like K41.00, so in 2018 you would have paid K4.11 in tax. In 2019 you pay no tax.

"So in your net pay, you get a slight increase in 2019," Mr Daton said.
