All 5 Jamaican Statutory Deductions — Automated

Every Jamaican employer must calculate and remit these deductions. YaadBooks handles the math so you never miss a rate or deadline.

PAYE

Pay As You Earn(25% over threshold)

Income tax deducted at source. YaadBooks applies the annual tax-free threshold automatically and calculates the correct amount every pay period.

NIS

National Insurance Scheme(3% employee + 3% employer)

Social security contributions with a ceiling. YaadBooks tracks the maximum insurable wage and stops deductions at the cap.

NHT

National Housing Trust(2% employee + 3% employer)

Housing fund contributions on gross emoluments. Auto-calculated on every payslip with proper employer matching.

Education Tax

Education Tax(2.25% employee + 3.5% employer)

Calculated on gross emoluments after NIS. YaadBooks applies the correct rate for both employee and employer portions.

HEART

HEART/NSTA Trust(3% employer only)

Training levy paid entirely by the employer. Calculated on total gross payroll and included in your employer cost reports.
