No personal income tax in St Kitts and Nevis - Social Security and Social Development Levy contributions calculated automatically.

St Kitts and Nevis
No income tax – two obligations instead.
Rules are territory-aware, versioned data rather than hard-coded logic, so an update is a data change, not a software release.
Social Development Levy
Calculated on the applicable earnings above the exempt threshold.
A full calculation trace
Every statutory line on every payslip shows the base and rate used to produce it – not just a final number.
Beyond statutory
Built for OECS payroll operations.
Weekly, fortnightly, semi-monthly or monthly pay groups, a two-person approval on every run, payslip PDFs and a bank payment file from the same approved record, and an immutable, field-level audit log.
