Payroll, Tax and IPRES Compliance in Senegal
Senegalese payroll involves multiple obligations filed monthly with the DGID (Direction Générale des Impôts et des Domaines). IRPP is progressive from 0% on taxable income below XOF 630,000 per year to 40% on income above XOF 13,500,000. TRIMF is an employer-only wage tax calculated in monthly salary bands and remitted monthly. IPRES general pension contributions – 8.4% employer and 5.6% employee on capped salary – are remitted monthly to IPRES. CSS contributions of 3% employer and 1% employee fund health and maternity benefits. All declarations must be produced in French.
Senegal also has an executive IPRES tier (IPRES Cadres) at 3.6% employer and 2.4% employee on higher salary bands, which applies in addition to the general IPRES contributions for senior staff. Accurate identification of which employees fall under executive versus general IPRES is a common compliance requirement that specialist PEO management resolves.
