The double taxation agreement between Switzerland and Ethiopia in the area of taxes on income and capital entered into force on 10 August 2023. It will apply for Switzerland from 1 January 2024, and for Ethiopia from 8 July 2024.
The double taxation agreement (DTA) between Switzerland and Ethiopia in the area of taxes on income and capital, which was signed on 29 July 2021, entered into force on 10 August 2023 following completion of the ratification procedures in Switzerland and Ethiopia. The DTA expands the Swiss network of double taxation agreements into East Africa for the first time.
The DTA ensures legal certainty and contains the requisite solutions for the development of bilateral economic relations and tax cooperation between the two countries. In addition, it takes account of the outcomes of the OECD's work to combat base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS).
