State, Regional & Local Taxes

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή Ethiopia β€” Regional State Taxes

Ethiopia's 11 regional states and 2 chartered cities (Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa) have their own revenue authorities. Regional states collect income tax on employees of regional civil servants and businesses registered in their regions. Agricultural income tax is exclusively regional, though poorly collected in rural areas. The Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (ERCA) administers federal taxes. Addis Ababa has the most developed tax administration. Turnover tax (TOT) of 2% applies to businesses below VAT threshold.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡· Brazil β€” State & Municipal Taxes

Brazil has one of the world's most complex tax systems. States levy ICMS at 7%–18% varying by state. Municipalities levy ISS (services tax) at 2%–5% and IPTU (urban property tax). A sweeping tax reform (EC 132/2023) is gradually replacing ICMS/ISS with unified IBS and CBS taxes through 2033. States impose ITCMD (inheritance/gift tax) up to 8%.
