- Egypt has clarified its tax policy, making remote tech service exports tax-free by exempting them from the 14% VAT.
- The new rules, outlined in Executive Instructions №45 of 2025, allow Egyptian firms to apply zero-rate VAT to remote services provided to non-resident clients, boosting competitiveness.
- This move coincides with Egypt signing 55 agreements with major tech multinationals, aiming to create over 70,000 jobs and doubling digital export revenues from $2.4B in 2022 to $4.8B in 2025.
- Services related to immovable property and after-sales services remain taxable, as they do not qualify under the new remote provision rules.
