Tax Expert Course

Taxes are one of the fundamental pillars of any modern economic system and represent a critical challenge and knowledge area for both individuals and businesses alike. The "Tax Expert" course offered on the Maarf platform by Mansoura University aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the tax system in Egypt, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects. The "Tax Expert" course will help you understand the different types of taxes, collection mechanisms, and the laws and regulations governing them, along with the latest amendments and updates in the Egyptian tax system.

The Egyptian Tax Authority is the entity responsible for collecting taxes in Egypt. It was established in 2006 by a presidential decree merging the General Tax Authority and the Sales Tax Authority.

Concept of Tax: A tax is a mandatory financial contribution imposed on individuals or businesses by the state; it is represented by the government, whether local, regional, or national. The purpose of the tax is to fund government activities, such as public works and services like roads and schools, or to fund specific programs like social security or healthcare. Taxes, depending on their type, are a portion of the profits or funds of taxpayers—who meet specific conditions upon which taxes are imposed—that are taken and transferred to the government through a tax collection agency or administration. Paying taxes at the rates imposed by the government is mandatory for those who are liable for them, and tax evasion is punishable by law.
