πΉπ© Chad β Chad Tax System
Chad imposes income tax at progressive rates up to 60% β one of the highest nominal rates in Africa, though rarely collected at top rates due to widespread informality. Oil revenue has historically subsidized the budget; declining production since 2003 has created fiscal stress. DGI (Direction GΓ©nΓ©rale des ImpΓ΄ts) administers tax. Political instability limits reform.
π΅πΉ Portugal β Municipal & Regional Taxes
