NAMRA General Tax Information

In this post, I am going to provide you with NAMRA general tax information that can help you know when you are supposed to file for your taxes and how much you should pay. The Namibian tax system is based on a source principle and the deemed source principle. Under these principles, all income earned or deemed to have been earned within the borders of Namibia is subject to taxation.

Income Tax

Namibia has adopted a Self-Assessment System. Under this system all taxpayers are required to compute their taxable income and file tax returns by the due date on an annual basis. Individual taxpayers are categorized into three groups each submitting a different color tax return. There are brown, blue and yellow forms and green ones for Companies & Close Corporations.

Value Added Tax

Namibia has a Value Added Tax System, with the standard rate of 15% levied on most of the taxable activities. It is mandatory for a person who carries on a business with an annual taxable turnover of above N$500,000 to apply for VAT registration. VAT is levied on every taxable supply by a registered person. Some transactions are taxed at a rate of 15% or 0% while other transactions are exempt from VAT.
