About the new Ethiopian Salary Tax Scale
The newly approved Ethiopian salary tax rate has faced widespread criticism, as the increase in non-taxable income from 600 birr to 2000 birr is seen as minimal and ineffective. Many argue the new income tax calculation formula does little to ease the burden on low-income workers. Labor union representatives contended that individuals earning less than 8,000 birr—considered below the poverty line by UN standards—should not be taxed at all. Despite these objections, the Ethiopian government approved the new salary tax rate without modifications, raising concerns about fairness in the revised income tax rate table and its impact on monthly salary calculations in Ethiopia.
