In Tanzania, social security contributions made by employees are deductible from their gross income for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This means that the amounts paid by employees towards social security schemes, such as retirement benefits and health insurance, can be subtracted from their gross earnings before income tax is computed. This provision helps to lower the taxable income of employees, potentially reducing their overall tax liability and ensuring that their contributions towards social security are not taxed.
