In Sierra Leone, social security deductions made by employees to the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) are generally considered deductible when calculating taxable income. This means that the amount contributed by employees to NASSIT can be deducted from their gross income before the income tax is calculated, thereby potentially reducing the amount of taxable income and the overall income tax liability for the employee. This provision encourages participation in the social security system while providing some tax relief to contributors.
