Why incorporate in Egypt
Investment Law 72, up to 50% cost deduction
Investment Law 72 of 2017 grants up to 50% deduction on the investment cost for Geographical Zone A projects (Upper Egypt and underdeveloped governorates), and 30% for Zone B. Applied against taxable profit for up to 7 years.
Free zone, 0% CIT and customs exemption
Free zone companies are exempt from CIT and customs duties, paying only a 1 to 2% gross revenue fee depending on activity (manufacturing versus services). Strong fit for export oriented operations with physical goods flow.
GAFI one stop shop registration
The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones consolidates company registration, tax ID, social insurance, and import or export registration in a single counter. End to end timeline of 2 to 3 weeks once documents are notarised.
Gateway to MENA and North Africa
Suez Canal logistics, Greater MENA Free Trade Area, COMESA, and AfCFTA membership. 56 double tax agreements covering the EU, GCC, UK, China, and African partners. The natural North African HQ for regional expansion.
"GAFI registration genuinely was a one stop shop, all filings cleared in 18 days. The free zone licence for our distribution operation came through 6 weeks later."
"Investment Law 72 Zone A status delivered a 50% cost deduction on our Upper Egypt facility, applied across 6 years of taxable income. Worth every week of the structuring conversation."
