MENA
Egypt payroll for UK and Irish businesses.
Run Egypt payroll — bureau or managed. Hire when you're ready: add EOR when you don't have an entity yet. Statutory rules, onboarding timing, and key compliance points all on this page.
Global Kinect runs Egypt payroll with progressive income tax applied per tranche on the right brackets, social insurance scheduled against the contributory wage, and EOSB on the Labour Law 12/2003 formula. Ramadan working-hour adjustments handled in cycle. Bureau when you submit yourself; managed when we run the cycle.
For UK and Irish buyers
What this means for a UK or Irish business
For UK and Irish businesses with people in Egypt, Global Kinect Ltd (Companies House 16852789) contracts as the UK supplier of payroll services. The management fee is supplied from a UK supplier under standard B2B place-of-supply rules; Egypt statutory pass-through is denominated in Egyptian pounds at the cycle rate.
- Production payroll data is hosted on Oracle Cloud's regional MENA estate, processed in scope of Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law.
- Egyptian social insurance contributions sit where UK National Insurance Contributions sit — calculated on the contributory wage with caps and floors per employee category. Maps cleanly to UK GAAP cost categories.
- EOSB on the Labour Law 12/2003 formula sits where UK statutory severance and service-related termination payments sit — both statutory minimum and any contractual top-up tracked.
- Egyptian progressive income tax brackets are calculated per tranche on the current schedule — engine updates centrally when the regulator moves a bracket so UK finance teams don't carry the configuration burden.
- Management fee can be invoiced in sterling on request. We agree the invoicing structure during onboarding.
