Eight days left to benefit from tax relief, warns ETA
The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) has reminded taxpayers that only eight days remain to take advantage of the tax relief measures introduced under Law No. 5 of 2025, issued on 12 February as part of the government's first package of tax facilities. In a statement on Monday, the Authority explained that the law offers several incentives to taxpayers. These include settling disputes relating to tax periods before 1 January 2020; filing for assessment and paying due taxes on real estate disposals or transactions involving unlisted securities conducted in the five years preceding the law's enactment; and submitting original or amended tax returns for income tax covering 2020 to 2023, as well as value-added tax from 2020 to 2024. The ETA emphasised that these measures reflect the shared vision of the Ministry of Finance and the Authority to resolve outstanding disputes, alleviate taxpayers' burdens, and encourage voluntary compliance—ultimately opening a new phase based on partnership, certainty, and mutual trust. This approach is also designed to help integrate the informal economy into the formal system and contribute to achieving national development goals. The Authority further clarified that applications for the Integrated Tax System for Small and Micro Enterprises—with annual revenues below EGP 20m under Law No. 6 of 2025—can be submitted at any time, via the Authority's official website. However, to benefit from the tax amnesty on liabilities for periods prior to enrolment, taxpayers must register by 12 August. To support taxpayers, the Authority said it continues to raise awareness about the relief package and to offer free technical assistance. This includes on-site support teams at tax offices and centres, as well as daily online seminars, details of which are posted on the Authority's official Facebook page. Explanatory videos are also available on the Authority's website and YouTube channel, alongside a detailed guide to the tax facilities.

Over 10,000 European Hotels Launch Legal Action Against Booking.com
Israa Farhan More than 10,000 hotels across Europe have joined a class action lawsuit against seeking compensation for financial losses allegedly caused by the platform's long-standing use of restrictive pricing policies. The suit, coordinated by the Hotel Claims Alliance and supported by HOTREC, the umbrella association representing hotels, restaurants, and cafés across the EU, aims to recover damages incurred between 2004 and 2024. Central to the claim are the so-called "best-price" clauses that prevented hotels from offering lower prices on their websites or other booking platforms. Thirty national hotel associations, including Germany's IHA, are backing the initiative. The lawsuit is to be filed in Amsterdam, where is headquartered. It references a ruling by the European Court of Justice on September 19, 2024, which found such clauses to be anti-competitive and unlawful under EU regulations. The platform officially discontinued the practice in 2024 following the enforcement of the EU Digital Markets Act. HOTREC President Alexandros Vassilikos stated that European hoteliers have endured years of unfair commercial conditions, calling the lawsuit a united stand against digital market abuses. Due to overwhelming interest, the deadline to join the lawsuit has been extended until August 29. In response, stated it has not received formal notification of legal proceedings and described HOTREC's announcement as a public statement rather than an active class action. The company maintains that all partner accommodations are free to determine their own pricing and distribution strategies. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
