Thursday 30th, December 2021 –<\/p>\n

To ensure that the Antigua & Barbuda Social Security Board (ABSSB) continues to honour its financial commitment to all beneficiaries and to enhance Contributors\u2019 Funds, the ABSSB is reminding the public of the Social Security (Collections of Contributions) (Amendment) (Regulations) Statutory Instrument No. 60 of 2016, that the increasing of Contribution Rates by \u00bd% will come into effect on January 1st, 2022.<\/p>

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The contribution rates for 2022 will therefore be 13\u00bd% for the public sector; and 14\u00bd% for the private sector, while the Self-Employed rate remains at 10%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>
