On 2 April, Egypt amended its Real Estate Tax Law 196/2008 through Law 3/2026 (“Amendment”). The Amendment is thus part of government efforts to boost tax revenues by digitising collection, widen the tax base by simplifying and encouraging tax reporting; and build trust between taxpayers and tax authorities by settling ongoing – and sometimes longstanding – disputes. This newsletter highlights the key changes that matter for businesses and investors holding real estate in Egypt.

Our Cairo Team gives a practical overview of the Amendment in the newsletter available here.
