Pay-as-you-earn tax system comes into force – see your January payslip


As you may have noticed on your January payslip, the pay-as-you-earn income tax system has now come into force.

The withholding tax rate indicated on your payslip is the rate that has been calculated by the tax authorities and notified to the Institut Pasteur Payroll Department; this rate takes account of any preferences that you may have communicated to the tax authorities.

We would remind you that the Institut Pasteur has nothing to do with managing withholding tax rates itself; it merely applies the information it receives from the tax authorities.

If you have any questions about the pay-as-you-earn tax withholding system, you should contact the tax authorities.
