I'm also interested in bringing a car into Ethiopia.
Another web site [link moderated]
has the following info on current tax rates:
Motor vehicles for the transport of goods
Duty Rate: 10%
Excise Tax: 0%
VAT: 15%
Sur Tax: 0%
Withholding tax: 3%
which is the lowest rate!! Question is what kind of vehicle qualifies as a "motor vehicle for the transport of goods". For instance do the double-cab style vehicles qualify e.g. Toyota Hilux, or Tundra, or a VW Amorak?
Anyone had any experience on this? The vehicle will be used by a licensed registered medical clinic, I understand that "ambulances" are tax free, but again, how is an ambulance defined? More than a light and siren on the top of it presumably?
