The Slovak Republic’s government approved a new income tax treaty with Egypt intended to eliminate double taxation, enhance economic cooperation, and combat tax evasion and treaty-shopping, replacing the ineffective 2004 treaty.
The government of the Slovak Republic approved the signing of a new income tax treaty with Egypt via Resolution 252/2026 on 17 June 2026.
The agreement is intended to eliminate double taxation, enhance economic cooperation, and combat tax evasion and avoidance, including measures to prevent treaty-shopping arrangements. It covers income taxes, including those imposed on total income, employment income, business profits, immovable property, and capital gains.
The treaty with Egypt is intended to replace the 2004 tax treaty, which was signed but never became effective.
The new agreement must still be finalised, signed, and ratified before entering into force.
Earlier, the Slovak Republic launched a public consultation on a new income tax treaty with Egypt, which ended on 5 May 2026.
