“I CAN’T DEFINE TAX EVASION, BUT I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.”

— FRED T. GOLDBERG JR.

የታክስ ሥርዓት ከመንግስታዊ ስርዓት ጋር በጥብቅ የተሳሰረ ሲሆን መንግስት እንደ መንግስት ለመቀጠል ታክስ መጣልና መሰብሰብ እንዲሁም የሰበሰበውን ታክስ ለዜጎች ማህበራዊ አገልግሎት ማዋል ይኖርበታል፡፡ ታክስ የመጣልና የመሰብሰብ ስልጣን የህግ መሰረት ሊኖረው የሚገባ ተግብር ሲሆን በዴሞክራሲያዊ ማህበረሰብ የዚህ ስልጣን ምንጭ በማህበራዊ ውል (social contract) መሰረት ዜጎች ለመንግስት የሚሰጡት ይሁንታ ነው፡፡

Bank deposit method of proving Tax Evasion: the current litigation heresies

Tax evasion is proscribed as a crime under Art 125 of Federal Tax Administration Proclamation no-983/20081. Under this article, the law proscribes transgressions such as understatement of income (evasion of assessment), failure to file tax return with intent to evade tax and evasion of payment as offenses of tax evasion. To prove tax evasion, prosecutors must prove all ingredients of the offense, namely intent to defraud, affirmative act and evaded tax. Amongst the ingredients of crime of tax evasion, the existence or otherwise of evaded tax is a typical one. One should use evidence to identify the nature and amount of evaded tax. We can prove tax evasion both by direct and indirect evidence.

Why Churches are not taxed

I am inspired to share this idea and bring to discussion, after hearing Christian leaders took the rare step on Sunday (25/3/2018) of closing Jerusalem’s church of the holy sepulcher in protest at Israeli tax measures and a proposed property law. Accordingly, for further discussion and research insight I raise issues related with why churches are tax exempted? What are the rationales and what about in Ethiopia?

Justification of Excise Tax in General

Excise taxes are an example of what have been traditionally called indirect taxes: taxes that are imposed on a transaction rather than directly on a person or corporation. Excise taxes are narrow-based taxes, as compared with broad-based taxes on consumption such as a general sales tax, a value-added tax, or an expenditure tax. Excise taxes can be collected at various stages, including the point of production, the wholesale level, or the retail level. They are also known as selective sales taxes or differential commodity taxes.
