The filing window opened on January 1 and will run through March 31 for individuals, Abdel Aal said in a statement. Legal entities and corporations have until April 30, or four months from the end of their fiscal year, to submit their returns.
Under the directives of Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk, all
filings must be submitted electronically through the Egyptian Tax Authority's
(ETA) official digital platforms.
The ETA chief noted that the filing process is split between
two digital systems as the country continues its move toward full automation: Main
Tax Procedures System: Used by major taxpayers, professionals, and medium-sized
enterprises in Cairo, Alexandria, Hurghada, and Qalyubia, and Electronic Tax
Services Portal: Remains the platform for all other taxpayers across the
country.
To facilitate the process, the ETA has launched a nationwide
support plan. This includes free daily webinars led by experts to guide
taxpayers and accountants through the electronic filing steps and resolve
technical issues.
Abdel Aal added that technical support committees have been
deployed to professional syndicates, chambers of commerce, and civil society
institutions. Dedicated teams are also available at tax offices across the
republic.
The tax chief urged citizens and businesses to meet the deadlines, framing the measures as an effort to enhance transparency and build trust between the state and the taxpayer.
