Comprehensive tax reforms are coming: Deputy Finance Minister Amr El Monayer has confirmed that the ministry will be implementing new reforms throughout the tax system, Al Ahram reports. While El Monayer revealed little in the way of detail, he did hint that the overhaul would help state bureaucrats. His statements come as government employees continue to publicly decry the passing of the Civil Service Act. El Monayer added that these tax reforms have the backing of President El Sisi. We noted late last month that El Sisi had sanctioned a policy review of the tax system with an eye on how to encourage investment, expand the nation’s tax base and reform the tax bureaucracy.
