Understanding Tax Tables (PAYE, NIS, Health Surcharge)

Published on September 2, 2026
Revised on September 2, 2026

TTPay comes with the standard Trinidad & Tobago tax rates already loaded for Pay As You Earn (PAYE), National Insurance Scheme (NIS), and Health Surcharge, so you don’t normally need to set these up yourself.

Where to find it: Setup > Statutory

Important: these screens are locked by default

Tax tables open in Query mode (read-only) on purpose, to prevent accidental changes to rates that affect every employee’s pay.

  • If you genuinely need to make a change, press Ctrl + M to switch to Modify mode.

Do not modify these tables unless the rates have actually been changed by the appropriate statutory body (the Board of Inland Revenue or the National Insurance Board). Changing them without an official update will calculate everyone’s pay incorrectly.
