The Minimum Subsistence Allowance (MSA) is a tax benefit for all employees. The amount of allowance varies on the employee's marital and family status, including dependent children. Employees can benefit from the MSA by filling out a declaration form and indicate information relating to their marital status, spouse's employment status and dependent children, if any.

The employees are responsible for providing truthful information and must inform their employer of any changes in their family status within 1 month, at the latest. While the responsibility of providing up-to-date MSA information rests with the employee, employers are recommended to periodically remind their employees to update their MSA information on their file to avoid potential tax fines.

The success of IPS/BES has served as another tool for other saving opportunities to enter in our lives.
