On 3 September 2025, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance issued Directive No. 1104/2025, detailing VAT registration obligations under Proclamation No. 1341/2024, which replaced the previous 2002 VAT Law.
This directive outlines the VAT registration obligations for various taxpayer categories, including:
- Category “A” taxpayers
- Taxpayers required to maintain books of account
- Taxpayers who voluntarily maintain books of account
- Providers of professional services with annual turnover below 2 million birr who are not classified under Category “B”
These taxpayers must register for VAT within 30 days from the directive’s effective date.
