Egypt’s tax authorities say that food sold online is now subject to VAT. Restaurant food deliveries are themselves also subject to VAT, the head of Egypt’s tax service said.
Any food business selling online is obliged to register for VAT if their annual turnover exceeds EGP 500 000. Note also that VAT applies at the standard rate of 14%.
Authorities say that VAT on online food sales and food delivery will create an even playing field across the industry.
