In Rwanda, social security deductions made by both employees and employers are generally not deductible when calculating taxable income for personal income tax purposes. This means that the contributions towards social security schemes are made from an employee's gross income before taxes are applied. The approach aligns with Rwanda's tax policy, which aims to ensure that social security contributions directly support the intended welfare programs without affecting the taxable income calculation.
