Withholding tax rates must be adjusted if a fixed-term employment contract is extended

A query was raised regarding whether the minimum withholding tax rate of 2 per cent can continue to apply after a six-month employment contract is extended for a further six months. The Directorate-General for Tax (DGT) ruled that the extension necessitates an adjustment of the withholding tax rate, although the 2 per cent minimum rate remains applicable provided the extension itself is for a period of less than one year.
