πΎπͺ Yemen β Yemen Tax System
Yemen's tax system has fragmented amid civil war (since 2015) between the Houthi movement (controlling Sanaa and the north) and the internationally recognised government (IRG, based in Aden). Each side collects taxes in their territory. Income tax nominally up to 15%. The conflict has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Oil and gas revenues (historically 70% of state income) have mostly stopped due to pipeline attacks and production collapse.
π§π· Brazil β State & Municipal Taxes
