The draft VAT proclamation in Ethiopia proposes to expand the tax base, increase the threshold for VAT registration, and introduce a threshold for voluntary registration. The tax rate will remain 15%. Taxable activities now include new business ventures, e-commerce, fees on public services, private transportation, and other sectors. The draft also includes VAT exemptions for various goods and services such as medical services, public transport, and agricultural products. The draft will be enacted after passing through the Council of Ministers and the House of Peoples’ Representatives.
