Linking all Egyptian ports to electronic platform to simplify procedures, reduce cost of goods, and reduce customs clearance time to less than three days, says Mohamed Maait
Egypt’s Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait has revealed that the government intends to link the country’s tax, customs, and real estate tax services electronically by the end of June 2022.
Maait’s remarks came during an open meeting held with the president and members of the Egyptian Businessmen’s Association (EBA).
According to a Ministry of Finance statement, on Saturday, Maait said that he is keen to undertake dialogue with Egypt’s business community. He also said that it is a genuine partner in achieving comprehensive and sustainable development, with the dialogue aiming to closely identify and overcome the challenges the community faces.
During the meeting, Maait confirmed that there is a law that allows the Prime Minister to decide on temporary exemptions from the real estate tax for some sectors. This is based on the proposal of the competent minister, and has been put in place due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
