The new tax measures could improve the disposable income of certain agents of the Haitian public service, without changing their gross salary. Simulations based on four profiles of police officers assigned to specialized units of the Haitian National Police (PNH) indicate a monthly net gain ranging from 2,168 to 3,076 gourdes. These estimates, presented in a note focused on the effects of the reform of personal income tax, are based on comparing tax deductions before and after the implementation of the new provisions.

Two major changes explain this development. The first concerns the revision of the income tax scale, notably raising the upper limit of the first tax bracket from 60,000 to 360,000 gourdes per year. The second relates to the withholding tax rate applied to remunerations other than salary and bonuses, including premiums, which increases from 10% to 15%. The combined effect of these measures, along with the elimination of a specific deduction, forms the basis for the estimated gains in the document.
