Ask a QuestionDo freelancers in Egypt need to register with the Egyptian Tax Authority?
Yes, freelancers earning income from services or independent work are generally required to register with the Egyptian Tax Authority. We help clients in Tanta determine their registration status and complete the necessary paperwork correctly.
What documents do I need to prepare my tax filing?
Typically you'll need income records, bank statements, invoices issued to clients, expense receipts, and any prior tax filings. Our team reviews your documentation during an initial consultation and lets you know if anything additional is needed.
How is tax calculated for small business owners versus freelancers?
Calculations depend on your business structure, declared income, and applicable deductions under current Egyptian tax law. We review your specific situation individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, since each case differs.
What happens if I miss a filing deadline?
Missing a deadline can result in penalties or additional review from the Egyptian Tax Authority. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible if a deadline is approaching or has passed, so we can help you address it promptly.
Can you help me if I have several years of unfiled taxes?
Yes, we work with clients who need to catch up on past filings. We review available records year by year and help organize a plan to bring your filings current in line with tax authority requirements.
Do you work with clients outside Tanta?

How much does tax preparation service cost?
Pricing depends on the complexity of your filing, such as the number of income sources or whether business accounting is involved. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your situation during a consultation, with no hidden fees.
Can you help set up ongoing bookkeeping for my small business?
