Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), said the Distinguished Tax Service Centres represent an important strategic step in enhancing the investment climate and supporting the business environment, positioning Egypt among the world’s leading countries in the development of government services and contributing to the building of a strong and sustainable economy. Abdel Aal explained that the centres are part of the second package of tax facilitation measures and reflect a fundamental shift in the philosophy of government service delivery. She noted that the centres offer an integrated model for modern tax services, based on completing all procedures in one location through the use of advanced technologies and simplified, fast-track processes. This approach reduces service delivery time, enhances taxpayer satisfaction, and alleviates pressure on traditional tax offices. Abdel Aal added that the design of the Distinguished Tax Service Centres goes beyond modern aesthetics, reflecting a comprehensive vision for a new tax service experience that prioritises ease of movement, organised procedures, and efficient service delivery without congestion or lengthy waiting times.
