In a proactive move to assist taxpayers, the Egyptian Tax Authority has announced significant measures to support those who encountered technical difficulties while submitting their annual payroll tax settlement declaration. Taxpayers can file their declarations without incurring any penalties for delays until the end of February.
Support for Tax Compliance
Rasha Abdel Aal, the Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority, emphasized the organization’s commitment to easing the burdens placed on taxpayers, particularly those involved in the eighth phase of the unified salary and wage tax calculation system. Many of these individuals faced challenges linking to the system, prompting the authority to act.
Taxpayers benefiting from these accommodations will be allowed to submit their annual salary tax settlement declarations without penalties, as long as the appropriate taxes are paid by the specified deadline. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to fostering a partnership between the tax authority and taxpayers, ensuring tax equity, and promoting voluntary compliance with tax obligations.
Ongoing Support and Resources
In addition to these temporary measures, the Egyptian Tax Authority is dedicated to providing extensive technical support. The authority is organizing free workshops and training sessions to equip taxpayers with the necessary skills to navigate the new system effectively.
Comprehensive guides detailing the steps to link to the unified salary and wage tax calculation system are also available on the official Egyptian Tax Authority website. Taxpayers can direct their questions and inquiries to the integrated call center at 16395.
Abdel Aal urged all taxpayers to take full advantage of these facilities, emphasizing the importance of submitting annual declarations and fulfilling their tax obligations. She reaffirmed the Authority’s ongoing commitment to enhancing services and achieving a streamlined digital transformation marked by efficiency and transparency.
The measures announced by the Egyptian Tax Authority reflect a significant effort to support taxpayers and ensure compliance amid technical challenges. By allowing penalty-free submissions for delayed declarations, the Authority is fostering a more accommodating tax environment. Taxpayers are encouraged to utilize the resources and support available to navigate these changes effectively.
