The Finance Min<\/strong>istry is reviewing the VAT Law with a view to scrap exemptions on some <\/strong>goods and service<\/strong>s<\/strong>, a senior government source tells EnterpriseAM. The move is designed to bolster tax revenues while allowing for income tax brackets adjustments<\/a> to support low-income earners, the source added.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> VAT is one of the state\u2019s primary revenue engines, contributing EGP 428 bn out of a total EGP 961.6 bn in tax revenue during the first five months of the current fiscal year. Despite cooling inflation, revenues are growing due to July\u2019s legislative reforms affecting crude oil, cigarettes, and construction, according to our source.<\/p>\n

\n

What\u2019s in the cards?<\/p>\n

A break for professional services firms? <\/strong>The study proposes reducing the number of table tax items and moving toward the standard rate of 14% instead of the current 10% for industries including professional services and cinema production. The firms would also be allowed to deduct input taxes, boosting their competitiveness against imports.<\/p>\n

Scrapping training services exemptions: <\/strong>A proposal to end exemptions for training services \u2014 deferred last year \u2014 is back under review, with plans to move these services from a zero-rate to the standard VAT rate.<\/p>\n

A simplified sugar tax:<\/strong> The Ministry is looking at a unified rate (10% or 14%) for sugar used in manufacturing (juices and beverages) to bypass the complexity of progressive tiers. \u201cWe are moving toward a unified rate to ensure accurate accounting,\u201d the source noted.<\/p>\n

Good news for manufacturers:<\/strong> The source expects the proposed VAT amendments to be \u201cwell-received by the private sector.\u201d Currently, goods under the reduced table tax do not enjoy input tax deductions, which can squeeze their margins compared to fully finished imported goods. Moving these items to the standard regime will enhance the competitiveness of local manufacturers by allowing them to recover taxes paid on production inputs.<\/p>\n

Our take:<\/strong> The shift is in line with the Finance Ministry\u2019s recent push to hit the \u201creset\u201d button with the private sector. It also aligns with the IMF recommendations to review tax treatments for 19 specific commodities to raise revenue by 1-2% of GDP annually.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next: <\/strong>Expect the finalized study to be part of the FY 2026-27 budget draft, as the changes require legislative amendments and parliamentary approval.<\/p>\n
