An Overview of Sudan

Sudan is a country in Northeast Africa with its capital in Khartoum. The official languages are Arabic and English, with other regional languages, such as Beja, Nubian, and Fur, also spoken. Sudan has a population of 50.45 million people, a GDP of $49.91 billion, and a growth rate of -13.5% as of 2024. The country relies on its vast natural resources, primarily gold.

A Glance at Taxation in Sudan

Sudan operates on a progressive personal income tax system. The rate ranges from 0% to 15% depending on the salary. Statutory deductions include the Social Insurance Fund (SIF), where the employer contributes 17% and the employee pays 8%, and withholding tax, where the employee pays 15%.

Sudan’s employment laws are governed by the Labor Act of 1997. The act regulates the relationship between employers and employees. Adhering to these regulations is mandatory and crucial for fostering a stable and productive work environment. 

  • Minimum Wage. The minimum wage in Sudan is 425 Sudanese pounds per month.
  • Working Hours. The standard working hours in Sudan are 48 hours per week, or 8 hours per day, with a mandatory 30-minute break for eating. Overtime is limited to 4 hours per day or 12 hours per week. Compensation is paid at a rate of 1.5 times the regular hourly wage for overtime done on normal working days and double the regular wage if done on official holidays. 
  • Employment Termination. The notice period for termination relies on the payment duration. However, the notice period is typically one month for a worker in a progressive service relationship with the employer who has been employed for more than 12 months.
  • Severance. Employees in Sudan are entitled to severance salary after six months of consecutive service.
