Lebanon<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the new budget law of the year 2024 published in the Official Gazette on February 15, 2024, several tax amendments related to the employees were enacted. Accordingly, salaries paid in foreign currency must be calculated based on the market exchange rate defined by the Central Bank & the Ministry of Finance. Consequently, the Minister of Finance issued Decision No. 1\/302 dated April 3, 2024 stipulating that the calculation and deduction of taxes must commence from April 1, 2024 with a rate of 89500 LBP for each American Dollar.<\/p>\n

These salaries are then subject to the tax on salaries according to the new tax brackets, which have been increased sixty times compared to their level before the financial crisis, and after deducting the family exemptions.<\/p>\n
