Taxes are deducted from all taxable incomes and consist of income taxes and municipal taxes (paid to municipal authorities). As a general principle, any individual staying in Iceland for 6 months or longer is considered a resident and has to pay tax on all of their income, no matter where it is earned.</p><p>An individual that stays in Iceland for less than six months in a twelve month period, has limited tax liability in Iceland. This means this individual has to pay tax on income arising from sources in Iceland although still having unlimited tax liability in another country.</p><p>Employers are required to calculate and deduct taxes from all salaries and wages paid out to employees. Taxable income includes, for example cash payments, wages, fees, sickness allowance and benefits in kind. Employers are also obliged to deduct mandatory (and voluntary) fees to workers unions, pension funds as well as to pay wage-related expenses.</p><p></p><div class="col-xs-offset-0 col-xs-22 col-md-26"><div class="panel-group" id="custom-collapse-0"><div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel-heading"><h4 class="panel-title"><a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#custom-collapse-0" href="#custom-collapse-0-income-tax">Income tax</a></h4></div><div id="custom-collapse-0-income-tax" class="panel-collapse collapse"><div class="panel-body"><p><strong>If you are a non-resident staying in Iceland for temporary work it is important to keep in mind:</strong><ul><li>To get paid you will need to be registered at <a href="https://skra.is/english/">Þjóðskrá (National Registry)</a> and get Icelandic personal identity number.</li><li>If you are not a resident of one of the Scandinavian countries, or a country that is a member of the European economic area, you must have a work- and residence permit.

Most people complete the tax return online on the <a href="https://www.skatturinn.is/english/">Directorate of Internal Revenue website</a>. Those who need assistance with understanding or completing their tax return should contact their trade union, the local tax authority or the Internal Revenue Directorate (Laugavegur 166, Reykjavik).
