衣索比亞給納稅人 3 個月的期限將二維碼整合到收據中

該舉措是更廣泛的數位化工作的一部分，旨在增強身份驗證並支持稅收目標。

Taxpayers in eight Ethiopian cities have three months to start integrating QR (quick response) codes into their receipts, in a move that is part of a broader digitization effort aimed at enhancing authentication and supporting revenue collection goals.

埃塞俄比亞八個城市的納稅人有三個月的時間開始將 QR（快速回應）碼整合到他們的收據中，此舉是更廣泛的數位化工作的一部分，旨在加強身份驗證並支持稅收目標。

The country’s Ministry of Revenues has issued a letter notifying branch offices of an amendment to the tax receipt issuance and administration directive that has been in effect for the past five years.

該國稅務部已發出一封信函，通知分支機構對過去五年生效的稅單發放和管理指令進行了修訂。

The directive now mandates that all receipts issued by businesses and individual service providers must include a QR code of at least 2cm on each side, printed using ‘Inkjet’ ink. Printing presses that wish to print QR-marked receipts will be required to apply for access to the QR code portal provided by the Ministry of Revenues and adhere to applicable data privacy and protection laws.

該指令現在要求企業和個人服務提供者開立的所有收據必須包含每面至少 2 公分的二維碼，並使用「噴墨」墨水列印。希望列印帶有二維碼標記的收據的印刷廠將需要申請訪問稅務部提供的二維碼門戶，並遵守適用的資料隱私和保護法。

Furthermore, taxpayers will be required to obtain approval from the Ministry before ordering QR-marked receipts from printing enterprises.

此外，納稅人在向印刷企業訂購帶有二維碼標記的收據之前，需要獲得該部的批准。

Tax officials will not accept invoices that do not include the QR code, according to the directive inked by Aynalem Nigusie, the Minister of Revenue.

根據稅務部長艾納勒姆·尼古西 (Aynalem Nigusie) 簽署的指令，稅務官員不會接受不包含二維碼的發票。

The move, which comes amid concerns that the country is under-performing its tax revenue potential, follows a proposal in Kenya to designate all digital payment systems as virtual electronic tax receipts (ETR) systems.

此舉是在人們擔心該國未能發揮其稅收潛力的背景下做出的，此前肯亞提出了一項將所有數位支付系統指定為虛擬電子稅單（ETR）系統的提案。

Ethiopia has made significant strides in tax collection over the past two decades, with revenues increasing from 12.4 billion Birr ($102 million) in 2005 to 165.3 billion Birr ($1.3 billion) in 2015, surpassing half a trillion Birr (~4$ billion) by the end of the 2023/24 fiscal year.

過去二十年來，衣索比亞在稅收方面取得了長足進步，收入從2005 年的124 億比爾（1.02 億美元）增加到2015 年的1,653 億比爾（13 億美元），超過了5 兆比爾（約合40 億美元）。

However, despite this growth, the country’s economic output has outpaced its tax revenue. The tax-to-GPD ratio, which stood at 13.4 percent in 2015, declined to seven percent by the end of the last fiscal year.

然而，儘管出現這種成長，該國的經濟產出仍超過了稅收。稅收與國內生產毛額的比率在2015年為13.4%，到上一財年末下降至7%。

Tax officials have attributed the stagnant revenue figures to several factors, including:

稅務官員將收入數據停滯歸因於幾個因素，包括：

The issue was highlighted during the Prime Minister’s recent address to Parliament where he linked poor tax collection to the widespread informal economy.

總理最近在議會發表演說時強調了這個問題，他將稅收徵管不善與普遍存在的非正規經濟聯繫起來。

“We do not collect taxes,” the Prime Minister remarked.

「我們不收稅，」總理說。
