In the Faroe Islands, social security deductions made by employees are typically deductible when calculating taxable income. This means that the contributions paid by employees towards social security schemes, such as pension and healthcare, are subtracted from their gross income before the computation of income tax. As a result, these deductions effectively reduce the taxable income of the employees, potentially lowering their overall income tax liability. This system offers a form of tax relief to employees, recognizing their contributions to state-supported social security programs.
