An individual is an Ethiopian tax resident if present in Ethiopia more than 183 days in a 12-month period, or if Ethiopia is their habitual place of abode. Residents are taxed on worldwide income; non-residents are subject to withholding tax on Ethiopia-source income (e.g., 10% dividends, 5% interest, 5% royalties, 15% technical service fees, 35% employment income unless a treaty applies).
Ethiopia has no specialized CFC rules.
Ethiopia's thin capitalization rules apply to a foreign-controlled resident entity - one where a non-resident person, alone or with related persons, holds 50% or more of the membership interest - where the entity's average debt-to-average-equity ratio exceeds 2:1 for the tax year. Separately, interest expense is not deductible where the rate exceeds the National Bank of Ethiopia's rate to commercial banks by more than 2 percentage points, unless the funds are borrowed from a recognized financial institution or a foreign bank permitted to lend to Ethiopian enterprises.
Ethiopia's treaty network is modest, with roughly 20 bilateral tax treaties in force, including China, France, India, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Tunisia, Turkiye, and the UK. Ethiopia has no income tax treaty with the United States.
