Companies expanding to Angola have plenty to look forward to, such as new relationships with other countries in Africa and the opportunity to recruit skilled talent. However, sometimes these benefits can get overshadowed when trying to determine how to set up your Angola payroll, hire employees, and stay compliant.
G-P helps companies operate in Angola without the additional stress. As a global Employer of Record (EOR), you can start hiring in minutes and we’ll handle payroll and compliance on your behalf, so you can focus on running your business.
Taxation rules in Angola
Angola utilizes a progressive income tax scale that ranges from 0% to 25% of an employee’s monthly earnings. Both employees and employers have to contribute to social security at 3% and 8% respectively. Employers also have to pay the country’s high corporate income tax rate of 25%.
Angola payroll options for companies
Your company has 3 main Angola payroll options to choose from, including:
- Internal: Larger companies with more resources and commitment to the country may want to set up an internal payroll. This option usually only works for companies with a large HR team and labor law expert.
- Angola payroll processing company: A local payroll processing company can take care of outsourcing your payroll, but your company will still be the one responsible for staying compliant.
- G-P: The easiest way to run payroll in Angola and stay compliant is partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR) like G-P. With us, you can rest assured that all employees will be paid on time, freeing you to focus on other important aspects of your business.
How to set up a payroll in Angola
You can’t set up your Angola payroll without first establishing a subsidiary unless you work with a global EOR. We’ll eliminate this requirement by hiring employees on your behalf and streamlining payroll. Our team will handle everything from paying your employees on time to giving out benefits, so you’ll only have to worry about running your new location.
Entitlement/termination terms
One of the complicated aspects of working in another country is understanding entitlement and termination terms. Adding these terms to an employment contract before choosing an Angola payroll option will help you stay compliant.
Angola employment laws strongly protect employees, so companies need to carry out administrative and reporting duties to avoid facing fines. Indefinite employment contracts generally have a probation period of 60 days.
