VAT: what the statute text says
Law 67 of 2016, and Law 149 of 2026 restating article 3. The registration threshold is on the Tax Authority FAQ.
The rates written in the statute
This is a reading of public pages. It is not legal advice and it is not a Wang Fu price. Figures, fees, and documents follow the linked page on the day you open it.
Egyptian Tax Authority:
VAT Law 67 of 2016. The text sets the general rate at 13% for financial year 2016/2017 and 14% from financial year 2017/2018. One percent of the tax is allocated to social-justice programs. Machines, equipment, and medical devices used to produce a good or perform a service are at 5%, except buses and passenger cars.
Law 149 of 2026 restates the first paragraph of article 3 the same way:
eta.gov.eg/sites/default/files/2026-08/law.no_.149.of_.2026.pdf
Later amendments are the text on eta.gov.eg. A separate non-resident digital-services guide (14% general, 10% for professional and consultancy services) is only for that narrow case:

These are state taxes, not a Wang Fu service fee.
The registration threshold, as the FAQ writes it
Tax Authority FAQ:
eta.gov.eg/ar/taxonomy/term/109
That page puts the mandatory registration threshold at 500,000 Egyptian pounds. Table goods, distributors, importers, and exporters have no such threshold. Exemptions are only those listed in the VAT exemption schedule.
Which row your company falls into is the Authority’s classification at registration. This page does not file a return and does not estimate tax due.
