In Guyana, social security deductions made by employees towards the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) are not deductible from their gross income for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This means that the contributions towards social security are made from an employee's income after income tax has been applied, rather than reducing the taxable income base. Therefore, these social security contributions do not affect the calculation of income tax liabilities for individuals in Guyana.

The main components of social security in Guyana include:

  • National Insurance Scheme (NIS): The NIS covers several key areas, including:
    • Pension Benefits: Contributions fund retirement pensions for employees, ensuring financial support in their later years.
    • Healthcare Benefits: This element provides medical care and assistance, covering expenses related to illnesses and hospitalization.
    • Employment Injury Benefits: These contributions offer protection and support to employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses, ensuring they receive appropriate medical care and compensation during their recovery.
    • Survivor and Disability Benefits: The NIS also provides financial assistance to the families of deceased employees and supports employees who become disabled and are unable to work.

Both employees and employers in Guyana contribute to the NIS, with employers typically bearing a higher percentage of the total contribution. This collaborative funding model ensures that workers have access to essential social services, contributing to the overall welfare and stability of Guyana's workforce.
