Ethiopia among the top 10 African countries for highest corporate tax











In this article, we are going to list the top 10 major economies in Africa by gross domestic product (GDP) with the highest corporate tax rates.

Corporate tax rates vary across the globe and reflect the unique economic needs of every country. Countries rich in natural resources, for example, often generate a bulk of their tax revenue from high corporate taxes on oil and natural gas companies, allowing other industries to operate in a relatively low-tax environment.

While Africa has some of the least competitive tax rates of any continent, there is still a high degree of variation among the countries.

South Africa – $28000
