Egypt · Tax guide

ETA operates a unified payroll-tax calculation system with separate private-sector and public/government-sector forms.

By Sources checked 28 Oct 2026

Personal income tax

Payroll calculation considers remuneration and eligible deductions, including employee social-insurance contributions. Use the current sector-specific form instead of an older generic salary table.

Filing & deadlines

ETA publishes 2026 monthly calculation templates and separate 2025 settlement templates. Its service guide includes employee payslip access and employer submission instructions.

Business and scope

Employers should use the unified payroll-system onboarding and reporting rules. These payroll forms do not replace corporate income-tax or VAT returns.
