- Egypt’s second tax facilitation package aims to simplify tax compliance, broaden the tax base, and foster trust between the Tax Authority and businesses.
- Key features include a White List for high-compliance taxpayers and an Excellence Card offering priority tax services and benefits.
- VAT refund processes will be streamlined, with White List members receiving refunds within one week; VAT refund volumes have already increased significantly.
- Additional VAT reforms: removal of VAT on transit goods and related services, reduction of VAT on medical devices from 14% to 5%, exemptions for dialysis machine components, and a four-year VAT suspension on certain equipment.
- The package supports public health, eases financial pressure on key sectors, and aligns tax policy with economic and social goals.
