🇻🇺 How tax works
in Vanuatu.
2026 · National income tax guide
The calculation, explained.
Vanuatu DCIR administers customs, VAT, rent tax, vehicle and business licences; there is no general personal income tax on employment salary in this scenario.
Rent tax, VAT, business licence fees and foreign-country tax obligations are excluded. Zero salary PIT is not zero total tax.
Doctors: employment and independent practice
The Vanuatu comparison is an ordinary resident employment scenario. We have not yet verified a doctor-specific independent-practice regime for this country. Do not apply Indonesia’s NPPN 50% here or enter clinic turnover as salary. Practice deductions, professional contributions and mixed income require additional local research.
