Working in MONACO
Employment Information
In Monaco, employees typically work a maximum of 38 hours per week within a flexible timeframe known as ‘the spread of hours’ (e.g., 7 am to 7 pm). Any work beyond this span can be negotiated for overtime rates, ensuring work-life balance in this beautiful Mediterranean enclave. Monaco offers a harmonious blend of work and leisure, making it an attractive destination for a fulfilling career and a splendid lifestyle.
Taxation
Monaco offers one of the world’s most advantageous income tax systems, as the principality does not impose any general income tax on individuals. Because of this, personal income (including salaries, dividends, and capital gains), are not subject to income tax. This means that individuals retain a substantial amount of their earnings.
Despite this, individuals with French citizenship are subject to French income tax on certain types of income. This is because of a historic agreement between Monaco and France. Monaco’s tax policies are a key part of the principality’s appeal as a financially prosperous region.
For organizations, Monaco imposes a corporate income tax rate of 25%, which is highly competitive compared to other neighboring European countries. Monaco also provides a variety of incentives for businesses, including exemptions and reduced tax rates for specific industries.

Employees in Monaco are entitled to a generous holiday package which is designed to ensure a healthy work-life balance. Typical annual leave ranges from 25 to 30 working days per year, depending on the length of service and any specifications in employment contracts.
Additionally, Monaco prioritizes the health of its workforce by ensuring comprehensive sick leave benefits. In the event of illness or injury, employees in Monaco are entitled to paid sick leave.
