You are right- in Texas USA almost tax is minimal. As you said tax system is a tool to hammer the head of hard working Ethiopian people
very interesting discussion and well presented. Most of the lawmakers are illiterate who just sign in any paper without asking critical question as long as it political motivated. Keep up the great work!!!
I don’t agree with you. It’s the same thing in other western countries as they have now started completely forbidding importing old cars, for example Scandinavian countries. I agree with the taxing proposal because people should be encouraged to buy newer cars. The country image is completely destroyed and it’s unhealthy we become the damping sites of old countries.

You shouldn't compare a 1st world country to a 3rd world nation.
Dr Ersedo I love you but please stop interrupting when others speak. Usually it’s just to insert some small talks. It’s disturbing for listeners. But you’re intellectual and we appreciate that.
Bringing old cars from outside is better than the old cars that are smoking the town so badly causing health hazard.

In countries like Ethiopia the government needs to make lots of money for infrastructure otherwise we will end up with 1% rich people and zero infrastructure and 99% poor. So I don’t agree with you completely.
A car is a luxury for Ethiopians because a car needs fuel and the fuel will be imported by paying dollars. There is a shortage of dollars in the country and as more and more cars are imported, more and more dollars will be needed. Currently Ethiopia needs more than 2 billion dollars to import fuel which is very expensive. In addition, countries which are successful like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Switherland, Austria are taxing corporations and individuals at a higher rate. Countries with a lower tax rate like USA, have income inequality and there is a concentration of wealth at the top of the income bracket. In USA the top 10% of the rich people own more than the bottom 50% of the population. Moreover, there are people who can't afford to pay rent and to eat. In some countries like Germany, corporate tax rate is very high but still there are many big and successful corporations. The tax rate in USA is low as compared to most European countries but American corporations outsource production to Mexico, China, India etc for the sake of low production cost. The Ethiopian government doesn't have the capacity to collect tax because 80% of the population lives in the rural country and there is black market, contraband in the country. So taxing a car 500% is too high but at this point as there is a shortage of foreign currency. High tax goes with less income inequality and high standard of living. I live in North America and there are too many people who can't afford to live in a house and to eat three times a day.
No possibility to have a vehicle for middle class. Imagine how many years you should work to buy a vehicle means to earn 2m? Even for some of us, we earn this in our life time.

I think the money comes in one door and leaves in another door legally through the bank system. There needs to be accountability for the money. You hear money coming in but still the problem persists. I agree structural change is needed very badly.

The issues related to foreigners owning property in Ethiopian could be related to when they decide to leave Ethiopian i.e. they are going to sell their property and now the question is, how can they take/transfer their CASH after the sell - can they transfer their cash in foreign currency? This is the main concern and not as you indicated.

Taxes generally contribute to the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country. Because of this contribution, taxes help spur economic growth which in turn has a ripple effect on the country's economy; raising the standard of living, increasing job creation, etc. The mechanics of a VAT are easier to implement in Ethiopia because the tax is collected from registered businesses -as millions of individuals don’t file tax returns . Developing countries like Ethiopia at early stage of development need to increase tax , as the majority poor people do get services from government spending, including roads, security, health, and education. The two largest in-kind benefits that developing country governments provide are free or subsidized education and health care. Thus, what the Ethiopian Gov. is doing (that is increasing taxes on luxury items) is critical - this should not continue forever but must be managed pragmatically.

I have decided to live in USA. You know I am paid USD 7000.lives monthly and I can buy a vehicle in USA by this salary. But if I want to live in Ethiopia, I have to invest my yearly income to buy a vehicle. Therefore, it is better for me to live in USA because the life is cheap there.
The excise tax is imposed on luxury goods, injurious goods, and on-demand inelastic goods. The reason for or imposing an excise tax on salt and sugar is because they are demand inelastic. Collecting a tax on those goods is essential for the government to generate revenue even in dangerous situations, such in case of war, natural disasters, and other emergency situations. Because, as they are necessary, everyone will buy these goods mandatorily.

The whole point, What Ethiopia’s problem today is The Economy. If the ruling party could have fixed the economy, there will be no ethnic, religion conflict in the country. Nobody cares who lives where, nobody cares who committed atrocities. The biggest problem EPRDF made was the economic platform they followed was wrong “ልማታዊ መንግስት” that’s socialism.

I want the panel to explain about VAT which is a burden to local poor consumers. I wonder where this 15% tax goes. Ok, in America people are taxed and they know where the money goes. The tax office shows with pie chart what percentage goes to where. Say Education and health etc. Would you please ask Addis Ababa city government about pie chart and explain to us. Else I think they abuse it to their idiot cadres benefit. If not asking too much can you answer on comments? Thanks

It is a ridiculous....ignorant and arrogant to propose 500% to impose on innocent Ethiopian ... Gov't must be ready for the response ... tired of inflation.
What are you talking about? Who has the most GDP in the country? even individually? Tigraway,so,to make a change or lame them this is very small amount ,the target is for increment of tax considered targeting them as they were targeted Ethiopian people not to work while TPLF on positions. It is a system to avoid them .so......Think twice.
Just for your information. Did you know that the metro train in Washington, DC is owned by the government? Some services, even if they are inefficient, sometimes could be owned by the government due to other reasons.
