- The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) issued instructions clarifying how taxpayers can offset VAT credits against tax debit balances.
- Taxpayers can request to settle VAT credits with tax liabilities, provided credits are final and undisputed (evidenced by Form no. 15) and debits are payable tax liabilities.
- If credits exceed liabilities, only the liability amount is settled; remaining credits can be claimed as a refund.
- No additional taxes or delay fines apply if the credit was valid and sufficient when the tax became payable.
- ETA will respond to settlement requests within 20 working days for audited years and within two months for unaudited years after starting the audit.
