Egypt Closes Window for Tax Dispute. Earlier today, Monday, June 30, 2025, the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) issued a final call to taxpayers with unresolved disputes, reminding them that today is the deadline for submitting applications under the Tax Dispute Settlement Law No. 160 of 2024.
According to Rasha Abdel Aal, the Head of the ETA, no applications will be accepted after today, as the Authority is working in strict compliance with the statutory provisions guiding the process.
Egypt Closes Window for Tax Dispute : Digital Access to Forms Simplifies Filing
To ease compliance and improve accessibility, the ETA has made all relevant dispute settlement forms available electronically through its official portal. Taxpayers can now complete and submit:
- The application form under Law No. 160 of 2024
- The real estate transaction tax form
- Forms related to trading in unlisted securities
This digital approach aligns with Egypt’s wider national strategy for digital transformation and tax modernization, spearheaded by the Ministry of Finance.
Enhancing Taxpayer Convenience
The move to online services is designed to save taxpayers time, reduce foot traffic at physical tax offices, and promote transparency. It also contributes to the Authority’s goal of building a more fair and efficient tax system, encouraging voluntary compliance while cutting down bureaucratic red tape.
Abdel Aal stated that the ETA is working tirelessly to minimize taxpayer burdens and increase trust in Egypt’s tax system.

Support for Taxpayers
To assist those filing last-minute applications, the ETA has deployed technical support and public guidance tools. A dedicated hotline (16395) remains active for inquiries related to the application process, required documentation, and any procedural concerns.
“We are fully committed to helping taxpayers resolve their outstanding cases,” Abdel Aal said. “This initiative not only enhances governance but also contributes to a healthier investment climate.”
Tax Dispute Law and National Revenue
Law No. 160 of 2024 was introduced as part of Egypt’s effort to boost domestic revenue by resolving long-standing tax disputes efficiently. By offering taxpayers a structured path to settlement, the government seeks to clear backlog cases, reduce litigation costs, and inject certainty into the system.
The ETA has reiterated that today is the final opportunity to benefit from this law.
Looking Ahead: A Modern Tax Era
As Egypt works toward a more responsive and digital tax administration, the deadline marks more than the end of a filing period — it represents a shift toward modern governance and taxpayer-focused service delivery.
Tax professionals across the country are encouraging eligible individuals and businesses to act quickly and finalize their submissions today, to avoid penalties and missed opportunities for resolution.
