Since 2005, the Specialized Consulting Office has provided audit, accounting, tax, company formation, feasibility and project-finance services to companies, investors and non-profit organisations.
Trusted by leading companies and institutions
The Specialized Consulting Office (SCO) was founded in 2005 by a distinguished team of accounting, audit and tax professionals, and quickly grew into a full-service firm. Today our work spans financial and management consulting, human resources, legal services and advice, and the formation of companies, private universities, schools and non-profit organisations (NGOs and foundations). We also lead financial and organisational restructuring, prepare corporate strategic plans and project-financing plans, and act in judicial receiverships and company liquidations.

Employers and payers of taxable income, including companies and projects operating under the free-zone regime, must file a quarterly return with the competent tax office in January, April, July and October each year, on the prescribed form, as set out in the Executive Regulations.
A taxpayer is exempt from filing in two cases:
Where their income consists only of salaries and similar payments, whatever the amount.
Where their income consists only of salaries and similar payments plus income from real estate, and their net annual income from these does not exceed EGP 5,000 (the exempt bracket under Article 7 of the Law).
A taxpayer must file an annual return in two cases:
Where, alongside salary income, they also earn income from a commercial or industrial activity or from a non-commercial profession, whatever the amount.
Where their combined income from salaries and real estate exceeds EGP 5,000 a year (the exempt bracket under Article 7 of the Law).
The Law treats regular and daily-wage workers the same way. Taxable income is determined pro rata for each part of the year in which income was earned, after annualising the monthly income, and both the EGP 5,000 exempt bracket under Article 7 and the EGP 4,000 personal allowance under Article 13(1) apply.
