Question of the week

Some fear the unfairness of the appeal committees?

As for the committee, it is created with an expert non-working previous or current employee at RETA as the head of this committee. It includes only one member representing the office of levying and collecting the tax, in addition to a consultant engineer in field of construction or an expert at real-estate estimation. The consultant or the expert is selected by either the engineering syndicate, Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority or the Egyptian Central Bank among the enrolled at the syndicate, the Authority or the Bank, provided that the candidate taxpayer for the membership of the committee should be within the jurisdiction of the committee.
Combining both the membership of the survey and estimation committee and the membership of the appeal committee is not allowed to ensure fairness and transparency.
