Mobile Division Calls for Phone Tax Cuts
Mohamed Talaat, Head of the Communications and Mobile Sector at the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, called for a reconsideration of the taxes imposed on mobile phones, especially since the 38.5% rate of taxes and customs duties does not explain the significant gap between iPhone prices in Egypt and those abroad. For instance, the iPhone 18 Pro Max costs around $1,300 outside Egypt, while its price in the Egyptian market exceeds 215,000 pounds (approximately $7,000), which is a substantial difference that cannot be attributed solely to increased taxes. Instead, it is also linked to component costs and their ongoing rise, leading to a decline in sales. The official urged the government to consider cutting taxes to make phones more affordable for consumers.
