Arab Finance: Egypt's House of Representatives approved a new simplified tax system for projects with an annual turnover of up to EGP 15 million, according to an official statement.
The proposed draft law aims to create an integrated tax system for projects registered within the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), whose annual business does not exceed EGP 20 million.
In this regard, the tax community base will expand by including informal projects in the formal economy system.
This comes as per a report issued by a joint committee of the Planning and Budget Committee, the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), and the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee.
Additionally, the Parliament passed a proposal submitted by member Abdel Hadi Al-Qasabi on raising the turnover of companies subject to tax to EGP 20 million, instead of EGP 15 million.
