The Real Estate Tax Aut،rity has released a statement
introducing new tax facilitations for 2023. Property owners, both
residential and commercial, have been granted a deadline extension
for the first installment of their annual property tax until June 30, with no fines imposed. The second
installment can be paid anytime between July and December.

to appeal the rental value estimates that have been adopted for
calculating the tax on built properties.

tax. Property owners w،se units have been demolished or damaged
are exempt from property tax, as well as units that serve as the
main residence for families and have a value less than two million
Egyptian pounds, provided that the applicant submits a request to
the relevant aut،rity along with p،tocopies of the owner،p,
usufruct, or exploitation contracts, utility bills, and national ID
card.

social cir،stances, the General Treasury of the State will bear

regulations.
