As part of a broader push to improve the investment climate, the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) has rolled out a new temporary 8-month tax card initiative.
Designed primarily for industrial and strategic projects, this measure allows investors to seamlessly proceed with company establishment while finalizing multi-agency licensing and land tenure requirements. During this 8-month period, access to the e-invoicing system will be temporarily restricted to ensure compliance. Once all criteria are met, businesses will transition to the standard five-year tax card. Meanwhile, standard commercial entities with valid leases will continue to receive their permanent five-year cards without interruption.
