Inflation considerations delays income tax reform

Image
The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFED) is said to have halted the revision of Ethiopia's income tax structure following advice from Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn's macroeconomic team on the inflationary implication of rolling out the tax amendment so close to when the government gave its employees a pay bump. According to The Reporter's sources, the PM's macro-economy advisory team recommended exercising some precaution when thinking of introducing the revision made on the income tax structure mainly for the inflationary pressure it might have when coupled with the salary increment. As per the suggestion of the advisory team, MoFED delayed the tax revision proposal submitted to it by the Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (ERCA) two years ago. After conducting a thorough assessment of the country’s tax schedule, ERCA proposed a general tax reform affecting many of the tax proclamations including the Customs Proclamation, which

The Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM) & Its Heroic Sacrifices at Glance!

The Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM) is over four decades old organisation of the Sidama nation fighting for nation's Freedom, Justice, Liberty and Equality. The nation has had this organisation informally for the period of over six to seven decades although it has been organisationally re-structured in early 1970s under the leadership of few groups of Sidama personalities from whom Kaala Woldeamanuel Duable was the one. Tragically and Sadly the late aforementioned SLM leadership finally surrendered his cause when he, during the May 15, 2005 Ethiopian highly rigged and fake election went back to surrender and work for the regime enslaving his own Sidama nation during his final days on earth. He campaigned on behalf of TPLF's brutal regime stating to the Sidama nation that TPLF is God's messenger for the Sidama people (a very unpalatable end for a person who claimed fighting for the freedom and justice of the nation). Besides, SLM has tremendously contributed to
