In Egypt, employers are responsible for withholding income tax and remitting social security and health contributions to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA). Every employer must register new employees with the ETA within 15 days of hiring. Additionally, contributions and tax withholdings are due by the 15th of the following month.
