The Egyptian Tax Authority is continuing its efforts to expand tax regulations for digital activities. They're doing this by setting clearer rules for handling expenses related to e-commerce practitioners and content creators, especially since many now work from home and don't use separate business premises. The Authority explained that these new tax facilities allow those engaged in these activities, who keep regular books and accounts, to count a portion of shared expenses linked to running their business from home. This reflects the nature of digital business models, which heavily rely on technology infrastructure and home services. Shared expenses include costs used for both personal and business purposes at the same time, such as rent, electricity, and internet. This applies when the business operates from home without a separate office.
