Egypt Eases VAT Rules, Expands Deductions, and Updates Tax Framework for Construction Contracts

  • Egypt’s Finance Ministry issued two decrees to facilitate VAT compliance and support taxpayers.
  • The first decree amends VAT Law regulations, expanding deductible indirect inputs to include financing and construction costs.
  • The second decree introduces a new accounting framework for VAT on contracting and construction agreements started before Law No. 157 of 2025 but continuing after its enforcement.
  • The VAT payment suspension period for dismantled production lines has been extended.
  • These measures aim to simplify tax procedures, increase transparency, and foster a more investment-friendly environment.
