A new study in Ethiopia suggests that 10% of the consumption tax on imported textile products should be abolished.

The study also recommends that a separate tax rate be imposed on imported and semi-finished products to replace 35%.

The proposal was put forward after a collaborative study by the association of textile manufacturers and relevant government organizations.

The results of the study show that the association and the government have reached a common understanding that the unified tariff rate for all types of textile products is not correct, "said the resident of the textile industry bureau,"

According to the study, an agreement on the disproportionate consumption tax on textile products has been reached, which is the result of a common view that clothing is not a luxury.

In addition, the study also suggested that semi products should be expropriated at a lower rate than finished products.

Sales said the study has been submitted to the government, proposing the abolition of the consumption tax and the acquisition of textile products and semi-finished products.

Sales said the government has accepted the implementation of finished products and semi finished products.

Ethiopia imports about 5 billion Bill's clothing and textile products every year.
