In Nicaragua, social security deductions made by employees for contributions to the Nicaraguan Social Security Institute (INSS) are deductible when calculating taxable income for personal income taxes. This means that the amounts contributed towards social security by employees can be subtracted from their gross income before the income tax is calculated. This provision aims to reduce the taxable base of employees, potentially lowering their overall tax burden and encouraging participation in the social security system.
