Taxes, including personal income tax, expenses and limitations are reviewed by the Government in the Faroe Islands periodically and typically updated each year. Not that not all tax rates and thresholds in the Faroe Islands change annually, alterations to tax policy to support strategic economic growth in the Faroe Islands mean that the certain areas may be focused on to provide specific tax relief in the Faroe Islands or support growth in certain areas (overseas invstment in the Faroe Islands for example may mean reduced non-resident income tax rates in the Faroe Islands for a period).
When tax policy in the Faroe Islands changes, the resultant tax tables also change. Tax tables in the Faroe Islands are simply a list of the relevent tax rates, fixed amounts and / or threholds used in the computation of tax in the Faroe Islands, the Faroe Islands tax tables also include specific notes and guidance on the validity of scenarios (for example, qualifying criterea for specific tax relief / allowances) and notes of the calculation of phaseout of specific tax elements within each taxation group (dividends and corporation tax thresholds in the Faroe Islands for example).
Faroe Islands Tax Tables may also be referred to as the Faroe Islands Tax Slabs, the Faroe Islands personal allowances and tax thresholds or the Faroe Islands business tax rates. They all refer to the tax tables, whether in whole or as specific sections/categories of the tax tables therein. In the section, we publish all 2020 tax rates and thresholds used within the 2020 Faroe Islands Salary Calculator. This means that if you are aware of a 2020 tax exemption or 2020 tax allowance in the Faroe Islands that you are entitled too BUT it isn't listed here, that we don't allow for it in this version of the Faroe Islands Salary Calculator.
