埃塞俄比亚给纳税人 3 个月的期限将二维码集成到收据中

该举措是更广泛的数字化工作的一部分，旨在增强身份验证并支持税收目标。

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.

埃塞俄比亚八个城市的纳税人有三个月的时间开始将二维码（快速响应）集成到他们的收据中，此举是更广泛的数字化工作的一部分，旨在加强身份验证并支持税收目标。

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.

该国税务部已发出一封信函，通知分支机构对过去五年生效的税单发放和管理指令进行了修订。

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.

该指令现在要求企业和个人服务提供商开具的所有收据必须包含每面至少 2 厘米的二维码，并使用“喷墨”墨水打印。希望打印带有二维码标记的收据的印刷厂将需要申请访问税务部提供的二维码门户，并遵守适用的数据隐私和保护法。

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

此外，纳税人在向印刷企业订购带有二维码标记的收据之前，需要获得该部的批准。

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.

根据税务部长艾纳勒姆·尼古西 (Aynalem Nigusie) 签署的指令，税务官员不会接受不包含二维码的发票。

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.

此举是在人们担心该国未能发挥其税收潜力的背景下做出的，此前肯尼亚提出了一项将所有数字支付系统指定为虚拟电子税单（ETR）系统的提案。

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.

过去二十年来，埃塞俄比亚在税收方面取得了长足进步，收入从 2005 年的 124 亿比尔（1.02 亿美元）增加到 2015 年的 1,653 亿比尔（13 亿美元），超过了 5 万亿比尔（约合 40 亿美元）。 2023/24 财年结束。

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，尽管出现这种增长，该国的经济产出仍超过了税收收入。税收与​​国内生产总值的比率在2015年为13.4%，到上一财年末下降至7%。

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

税务官员将收入数据停滞归因于几个因素，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.

总理最近在议会发表讲话时强调了这个问题，他将税收征管不善与普遍存在的非正规经济联系起来。

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

“我们不收税，”总理说道。
