Abstract This study investigates gender disparities in the tax burden in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia, using data on 2,320 taxpayers for 2011 and 2012. A quantile regressionanalysis is employed to control for firm characteristics such as sector, size, andage. The results show that women-owned businesses are more likely to operate inlow-profit sectors and report lower sales and tax liabilities than men-owned businesses.However, women-owned businesses pay as much as men-owned businessesin taxes, suggesting that they are subject to a higher effective tax rate. This, inturn, may lead to women-owned businesses exiting the tax net at a higher rate.These findings suggest that gender disparities in tax compliance are not simplydue to differences in firm characteristics but may also be due to biases in taxdeclaration and enforcement processes.
