How do taxes work in Venezuela if I’m working remotely for a company Venezuela?

When working remotely in Venezuela for a firm based in Switzerland, taxes might be tricky, therefore it’s important to know the tax regulations.

Venezuela is a socialist country and its economy is in a deep crisis. The government has already imposed multiple measures to make it more difficult for Venezuelans to work abroad.
In this article, we’ll talk about the tax system in Venezuela, and how it applies to those working remotely for a firm based in Switzerland.
According to the Venezuelan tax law, the company that is based in Venezuela and that hires a Venezuelan worker should have to pay a percentage of the worker’s salary.
This percentage is known as the “Venezuelan Tax”, and it is calculated by dividing the worker’s salary by the average salary of a Venezuelan worker.
However, the Venezuelan tax can be calculated only if the worker is working in Venezuela. If the worker is working remotely, the tax will not be applicable.
In the case of the worker being a freelancer, the tax will be calculated based on the worker’s monthly income.
The Venezuelan tax rate
The Venezuelan tax rate is calculated by dividing the worker’s monthly income by the average monthly income of a Venezuelan worker.
This means that if the worker’s monthly income is lower than the average monthly income of a Venezuelan worker, the Venezuelan tax rate will be 0%.
