A draft proclamation to replace the two-decade-old legislation maintains the 15 percent VAT rate on taxable goods and services. The government is considering tax reform to broaden the tax base and increase tax revenue.
The draft proclamation states that the VAT on taxable goods and services and imports will be 15 percent unless they are zero-rated. Since the implementation of VAT in Ethiopia’s tax system 20 years ago, this has been the percentile that has been in use.
