Hisab Ethiopia - Tax, VAT

Hisab Ethiopia helps you track every birr coming in and going out - and shows you what you'll owe before tax season hits.

Built for Ethiopian taxpayers under the rules of Proclamation 1395/2025. No account, no sign-up, no internet required. Everything stays on your device, encrypted with a PIN you set.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Track income and expenses by category - salary, freelance, business sales, rent, school fees, fuel, groceries, and more.

• Estimate tax for the schedule you fall under:

– Schedule A (employment income, with the 7% pension deduction baked in)

– Schedule B (rental income, individual or company)

– Schedule C Category B (small business - gross sales)

– VAT (15%, with mandatory-registration alerts at 70%, 85%, 95% of the 2,000,000 ETB annual threshold)

– Withholding tax (3% on goods over 20,000 ETB, services over 10,000 ETB; 30% if the supplier has no TIN)

– Pension (employee 7%, employer 11%, capped at 15,000 ETB pensionable salary)

• Tap any salary entry to see the breakdown: gross, employee pension, income tax, take-home - exactly what your employer should be doing.

• "Available to spend" hero shows what's left of this month's income after tax and pension are carved out - separate from your bank balance, so you always know how much is genuinely yours.

• Bank account tracker - keep your CBE, Awash, Dashen, or any other account totals in one place. Manage them from the dedicated Accounts tab.

• Charts - pie of expenses by category for the current month, bar chart of income vs expenses for the last 6 months.

• Receipt OCR - point your camera at a receipt, Hisab pulls out the amount and date with on-device machine learning. Nothing leaves your phone.

• Languages - English and Amharic. pickers are in place; full translations land in a follow-up release.

• Reminders - VAT filing, pension remittance, withholding deadlines, advance payments - Hisab keeps the next dates on your dashboard so you don't miss a filing.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

• No account required. No email, no phone number, no TIN.

• PIN-protected, encrypted database. Optional Face ID unlock.

• Offline-first. Tax math runs on your device, not on a server.

• Optional analytics are category-level only - Hisab never sends amounts, account numbers, names, or notes off your phone.

IMPORTANT

Hisab provides estimates for planning only. It is not tax advice and does not replace filing obligations. Confirm figures with a certified accountant or the Ethiopian Ministry of Revenue before relying on them.

WHO BUILT THIS

Hisab is made by people who file Ethiopian taxes themselves and got tired of spreadsheets. Built in Addis with Flutter. Open to feedback at [email protected] (replace with your real address before publishing).
