Ethiopia

Ethiopia applies a top marginal personal income tax rate of 35% and a corporate income tax rate of 30%. The tax burden is moderate-to-high, though various deductions and treaty networks may reduce effective rates. Capital gains are taxed at a relatively low rate of 15%, making Ethiopia reasonably attractive for investors and those with portfolio income. Ethiopia taxes residents on their worldwide income, including foreign-sourced earnings. This means income from overseas employment, investments, and business activities is subject to domestic tax rates, though double taxation treaties may provide relief. Ethiopia does not permit dual citizenship. Individuals acquiring citizenship here may be required to renounce their existing nationality, which has significant implications for tax residency planning and global mobility.
