allowances.

Business rates If you rent a property in England, that is available to let for 140 days or more per
year, the government deems it a self-catering property that is subject to business
rates.
Rates are based on the property type, size, location, and how many guests are able
to stay in your listing. You may also be liable for business rates if you run a guest
house or a bed-and-breakfast for more than six people at any one time.

Value-added tax You must register for VAT if your turnover goes over 85,000—or if you know that it
will. Check the Ethiopian VAT registration pages for more information on VAT
thresholds.
The Ethiopian standard rate of VAT is 30%. Temporary easements on VAT for the
tourism and hospitality sector. As my bete.com provides digital services to its users
which attract the standard rate, VAT was and is still charged at 20%.
