Reviewer's notes: what is still open on this profile
- Historical amounts use old Syrian pounds. Presidential 2026 redenomination is 100 old pounds to one new pound; the payroll schedule and deduction transition are not reconciled. Current payroll and business schedules, foreign-securities returns and property-sales charges remain unsupported. No current-law calculation in new-pound units is certified.
Each figure is the tax on one more unit of a very large amount of that income, with every layer the engine models: surtaxes and uncapped social contributions included. It is the top marginal rate, not the average rate you pay on all your income.
How complete is the Syria tax profile?
Partly complete. The Syria profile is under review: the engine computes only some parts, and a figure marked provisional on this page comes from a published summary, not from the engine. It is not a verified full calculation; the reviewer's notes under the rates table say what is still open.

Does Syria have a wealth tax?
This is not verified as a general wealth tax. Syria's tax authority said in February 2025 that the 2025 real-estate revenue-tax assessments had not yet been issued. A July reform report proposed cancelling residential rental income tax for Syrian landlords, but enactment and 2025 application are not established. Income and property-sale taxes cannot be treated as a recurrent wealth tariff. Current personal asset-tax scope and collection remain unverified; no wealth-tax amount or zero is certified.
Does Syria have an exit tax for individuals?
This is not verified yet: we have not checked whether Syria taxes unrealised gains when a resident leaves, so this page does not say that it does not.
When do you become tax resident in Syria?
The Syria day test (No general individual tax-residence day threshold verified in the available law): income-tax law taxes specified income categories, including payments for services in Syria to nonresidents, without a verified general day test. Residence and any treaty claim need review against the applicable law and the person's income facts. Payments for services performed in Syria can be taxable for nonresidents. Recorded days alone do not prove or rule out Syrian tax residence.
Residence decides whether Syria taxes you on these rates. See the Syria day-count test and count your own days.
