Egypt Payroll — Progressive Tax Brackets Most Operators Get Wrong

Egypt

Quick answer

Egyptian payroll uses a progressive personal income tax ranging from 0% on annual income up to EGP 15,000 to 27.5% on income above EGP 400,000, plus social insurance at 18.75% employer and 11% employee of contributory wage. The common trap for GCC operators is treating Egypt like a flat-tax jurisdiction — progressive brackets are calculated annually but applied monthly, and bonuses retroactively shift every bracket.

Egypt has seven income tax brackets from 0% to 27.5%. Most GCC operators get this wrong by applying flat rates. The correct approach.
