A Simple Guide to Egypt’s New E-Commerce Tax System

If your annual turnover is up to EGP 20 million, you may qualify for lower tax rates, fewer compliance burdens, and strong legal incentives.

E-commerce businesses with annual turnover not exceeding EGP 20M can opt into the simplified tax regime.

✅ Basic Requirements

To benefit, businesses must:

  • File tax returns on time

  • Register with the e-Invoice and e-Receipt systems

Simplified Tax Rates

(Based on Annual Turnover)

  • Up to EGP 500,000 → 0.4%

  • EGP 500K – less than 2M → 0.5%

  • EGP 2M – less than 3M → 0.75%

  • EGP 3M – less than 10M → 1%

  • EGP 10M – less than 20M → 1.5%

These rates are designed to support small and growing digital businesses, while keeping them fully compliant with Egyptian tax regulations.
