Rasha Abdel Aal, the Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), has announced that there are only 16 days remaining for individuals to submit their tax returns. The ETA will continue to accept tax return submissions for individuals until March 31 and for companies until April 30, 2024.
She highlighted the Ministry of Finance’s commitment to fostering voluntary tax compliance by providing substantial assistance to taxpayers. To support this initiative, the ETA launched a comprehensive assistance program, featuring daily free seminars led by professionals to help taxpayers and accountants navigate the electronic filing process and resolve any inquiries.
Furthermore, support committees are established at various professional syndicates, civil society organizations, chambers of commerce, and business federations to make tax return submissions easier. The Digital Services Center at the Treasury Headquarters in Lazoghly is also offering technical assistance, equipped with advanced digital tools and a specialized team to assist electronic filers efficiently.
The ETA chief urged taxpayers to utilize the electronic tax system in order to meet their deadlines and to take advantage of the complimentary technical support available. She clarified that taxpayers registered under the First and Second Large Taxpayer Centers, the Large Free Professions Center in Cairo, as well as the Large and Medium Taxpayer Centers in Alexandria and Hurghada must file their returns through the new core tax system on the ETA’s website. All other taxpayers, however, should submit their returns via the tax services portal.
In summary, the Egyptian Tax Authority emphasizes the importance of timely tax return submissions ahead of the approaching deadlines. The ETA, under Rasha Abdel Aal’s leadership, is actively facilitating taxpayer compliance through various support initiatives, including free seminars and dedicated assistance centers. Taxpayers are encouraged to utilize the electronic tax system and seek available support for a smoother filing process.
