Cross-border and foreign-investor tax
Tax Support for Foreign Companies and Cross-Border Business
We help foreign and regional businesses understand the Egyptian tax considerations of entering, contracting, employing, supplying or investing in Egypt and connect those considerations to the intended operating model.
Focused advisory
Start with the facts of how business will operate
Entity choice is only one part of the tax position. Contracting flows, people, authority to conclude business, services, goods, intellectual property, financing and related-party transactions can all affect Egyptian obligations.
We coordinate domestic and cross-border questions, identify information that may be needed from overseas advisers and document the assumptions underlying the recommended approach. Treaty or foreign-law conclusions are confirmed with qualified advisers where necessary.

Questions clients ask
Practical points before we begin.
Must a foreign company incorporate in Egypt?
The answer depends on the intended activities, duration, people, contracts, sector and regulatory requirements. We assess the operating facts before recommending a route.
Can you coordinate with advisers in another country?
Yes. Cross-border work often requires clear allocation between Egyptian advice and advice on another jurisdiction’s law or tax system.
Does this include transfer pricing?
Transfer-pricing policy, related-party review and documentation support can be included according to the group structure and transactions.
