The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) recently participated in the annual tax conference hosted by Ernst & Young (EY) Egypt, a forum dedicated to exploring the latest shifts in tax policy. Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the ETA, underscored the vital importance of engaging in specialised dialogues that unite tax authorities with the broader business community. Such platforms are essential for strengthening communication channels and showcasing state-led initiatives to refine the investment climate. Ragab Mahrous, Advisor to the Head of the ETA, detailed the second package of tax facilitation measures, which rests on the dual pillars of procedural enhancements and legislative amendments. Furthermore, Mahrous confirmed that new legislation would permit recent tax periods to utilise the lump-sum tax system established under Law No.
