Tax and Customs Evasion Cases

Tax and Customs Evasion Cases

At Al-Radwan Law Firm and Legal Consultancy, we place great importance on tax and customs evasion cases, given their critical role in protecting the national economy and ensuring financial justice. These cases are among the most complex economic issues, requiring both legal and accounting expertise, as they combine criminal, administrative, and technical dimensions.

Nature of Tax and Customs Evasion Cases

Tax evasion involves individuals or companies providing false information or concealing financial data to reduce the amount of tax owed—whether on income, value-added tax, or corporate profits.
Customs evasion, on the other hand, refers to the illegal import or export of goods, or the submission of falsified documents to evade customs duties or unlawfully obtain exemptions or privileges.

The Risks and Impact of Tax and Customs Evasion

These crimes pose a direct threat to the national economy by:

• Reducing public revenues, which finance essential services and national projects.

• Undermining fair competition between compliant and non-compliant businesses.

• Distorting local markets and encouraging illicit economic activity.

• Eroding public trust in the financial and tax systems.

For these reasons, Egyptian legislation treats such offenses with particular seriousness, imposing severe penalties, including heavy fines and imprisonment. However, the law also allows settlement and reconciliation in specific cases through payment of dues and penalties under defined conditions.

Legal Framework Governing Tax and Customs Evasion

These cases are regulated by several key laws, including:

• Income Tax Law No. 91 of 2005

• Value Added Tax Law No. 67 of 2016

• Customs Law No. 207 of 2020

These laws clearly define the elements of the offense, applicable penalties, and procedures for reconciliation. Navigating them requires deep understanding and specialized legal experience.
