Circular No. (5) For The Year 1994


Concerning The Accounting Principles
For The Contracting Sector Regarding The Sales Tax
Upon the request of the Egyptian Federation for Construction and
Building Contractors, established under Law No. 104 for the Year 1992 on
setting the accounting bases and principles with the Sales Tax Department
in order to apply the tax in the contracting field, facilitate the procedures
and collect the dues of the General Treasury;
And having agreed upon carrying out the technical studies in that
respect, and the representatives of the Federation have performed technical
study of the different sectors in the contracting field, in the light of Decree
of the Minister of Social Insurance No. 74 of the year 1988, and according
to the detailed information shown in the attached lists;
And having completed this study so as to cover all the contracting
activities;
The department has decided to apply the accounting principles
included in the technical study submitted by the Federation, being the
technical entity concerned in respect thereof.
The following have been agreed upon:
1.

The technical studies given in the attached tables and signed by the
representatives of the Federation and the department shall be
considered as an integral part of this minutes as accounting principles.

2.

The progressive payment certificate shall be considered the event


creating the tax, being the issued bill. Payment shall be effected
according to the monthly declaration.

3.

The sub-contractor shall be considered as having paid the tax, if the


tax has been paid for the contract, he or she is working under, by the
general contractor. He shall submit the declarations, as per the law,
showing tax pre-payment by the general contractor.
In case the specialized sub-contractor undertakes a direct contracting
operation with the owner or service acceptor, he shall be considered
a general contractor and shall pay the tax by his monthly declaration.

Remarks:
(a) Percentages included in the technical studies attached hereto are
related to the total contract value that shall conform to the books
and documents of the person in charge (General Contractor).
(b) These percentages represent the tax value for the value added as
a rendered service as per the Presidential Decree No. 77 for the
Year 1992.
(c) The department shall submit the letters requested by the members
of the federation indicating that he is subject to the tax. The tax
value shall be stated in the progressive payment certificate.
(d) The Federation shall notify its members, who have not yet been
registered, so as to promptly get themselves registered at the sales
tax department, during the period ending in April 1994, subject to
sending lists of the names of the members enrolled in the
Federation and their addresses to the department.
(e) The dues pertaining to the tax levied as of 18/4/1993 (date of
issuance of instructions No. 3 for the Year 1993) until the date of
coming into force of the minutes shall be computed and paid to
the department. If the registrar meets certain executive
difficulties, he must approach the department in order to take the
necessary legal and organizational procedures.

A joint committee, from the Federation and General Department for


Taxing Research, shall be held periodically, or if necessary, to discuss any
suggestions related to applications.
These principles shall come into force as of the date of signing the
minutes and for one year. The above percentages shall be reviewed, as
accounting bases in the light of practical application, on renewal.

Memorandum
On The Research On The Application Of Sales Tax
As Per Presidential Decree NO. 77 Of The Year 1992
Application of Presidential Decree No. 77/1992:
This Memorandum shows the value of the Sales Tax on the total
value of contractings for building works, including the percentage of the
Main Contractor and all percentages of the sub-contractors.
In order that the building works cover all types of contracts in the
field of construction, building and civil works, the following definitions
shall be introduced:
First - Building Sector, which includes:
(a) Economical/medium/special housing
(b) Administrative buildings and the like, including police stations and
centers, military wards/prisons.
(c) Hospitals, rescue centers and health units.
(d) Hotels and touristic offices and villages.
(e) Clubs, swimming pools, fences, playgrounds and light buildings.
(f) Banks.
(g) Different factories, stores, concrete warehouses, and depots, concrete
siles, power stations and sanitary drainage stations.
(h) Maintenance and refurbishing works, including supplies and
installations without any electromechanical provisions and equipment.
Second - Special Building Sector, including:
Luxury housing (metal trusses, metal silos, mechanical foundations,
prefabricated buildings), including supplies and installation.
Third - Electromechanical Works and Building Provision Sector, which
include:
Factory equipment and machines, conditioning works, elevator
works, transformers and generators, high pressure and medium pressure
switchboards, fire, theft and firefighting warnings, aerials and acoustics,
communication sets, broadcasting and telephone exchanges, different types
of pumps, boilers, water purifying, and treating equipment, medical
equipment and provisions and control and measuring apparatuses.

Fourth - Utilities, Roads and Quarries Sector and Irrigation, Land


Reclamation and Routes, which include:

Asphalt roads, including earthworks, culverts, curbs, directory signs


and revetments.
Runways.
Mine removal and rock blowing up.
Sanitary drainage and covered drainage networks.
Lighting post networks and telephone networks and accessories.
Water feeding networks, water tanks, drip and spray irrigation.
Bridges, locks, spillways, drains, weirs, siphons and cross-over
pipelines.
Well digging, dredging, refurbishing and constructing canals and
drains.
Land reclamation, quarrying, salines and crushers works (all including
supply and installation).

Fifth - Petroleum and Land Works Sector, which includes:


Land and marine pipelines, insulation, packing, pumping and
measuring units and instruments.
Sea ports, water barriers, marine platforms and dredging.
Reservoirs, tanks, pressure vessels and accessories.
Equipment repair, rust and old paint removal and painting of metal
surfaces (all including supply and erection).
But the following must be noted:
(1) Complete separation between any two of the above sectors is not
100% possible, there shall be some interference, e.g. in the Petroleum
Sector, there are pressure vessels and attached pumps, supplied in the
electro-mechanical work sector and stop cocks supplied in the utilities
sector. The separation, however, is to be carried out on the basis of the
dominating contract type and the bodies demanding the service. In
computing the general averages, with respect to the interference of
works and place of service whatsoever, the above classification by the
service caller is to be a suitable one.
(2) All the activities shown in the above sectors sufficiently cover all the
works. If there remain a small percentage, it's very easy to add it
within the frame set for each sector.

(3) The building sector (First Sector) does not include any provisions or
electro-mechanical equipment. But, since these provisions or
equipment are necessary for such buildings, the tax is to be applied in
this sector, after separation between buildings, provisions and electromechanical equipment, in the same way as that adopted in the first
sector separately and in the third sector separately for each of the two
work types.
(4) In the sector of private buildings (Second Sector) and all the other
sectors, except for the first sector, if the sub-contractor wants to
contract directly with the service caller, he is then treated as a main
contractor without the need for a sub-contractor. The main contractor
is expected to do what is expected in the utility sector (Fourth Sector)
and in the Petroleum Sector (Fifth Sector), i.e. do all the works with
100% self operation; in which case he is treated as a main contractor
without the need for any sub-contractors.
The following tables show the tax value for each sector whether
there is a sub-contractor or not. The tax value was set under the previous
principles for the first sector, e.g. value of materials and labour as an added
value and other added value represented in profits, tool and equipment
consumption.
If the labour percentages were recorded under Ministerial Decree
No. 74 of the year 1988, then the application was undertaken on the basis
of using mechanical equipment, which situation is established through the
nature of the works in all sectors from second through fifth ones.
