The 30% professional-expenses abatement is capped at 4,800,000 XAF/year (2024 Finance Law), so high earners are correctly charged: the abatement no longer grows without limit above 16,000,000 XAF of gross. The employee CNPS pension and the 500,000 XAF fixed allowance are deducted from the tax base; the CFC housing levy is not deductible and stays in the social total. The 10% CAC surcharge is applied. Cameroonian salary IRPP has no family-quotient mechanism. For your situation, confirm with the DGI.
