Turnover-Based Presumptive Taxation and Taxpayers’ Perceptions in Ethiopia

Abstract:

Research in Brief 43

Why turnover-based presumptive taxation? The Ethiopian economy is cash-based and dominated by a large number of micro and small businesses. Hence, taxing this sector assists in raising government revenue and increasing the number of taxpaying firms. Turnover-based presumptive taxation provides a regime that simplifies the tax rules for small taxpayers and helps introduce them to the standard tax regime. Summary of ATAP 7 by Abis Getachew.
