Egypt Proposed Increase in Tax Exemption Threshold 2026
The Egyptian government has announced the launch of a second tax facilitation package following a high-level meeting chaired by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. As part of this package, the Minister of Finance outlined several measures aimed at easing the tax burden on individuals, simplifying compliance procedures, and encouraging voluntary disclosure and payment.
According to multiple Egyptian media publications, the package may include an increase in the income tax exemption threshold for the 2026 fiscal year.
