Need for the Document

• Any establishment or business would require a license to operate. Hence it is mandatory to secure a license for a Musical Instruments business. The Egypt government usually issues a License. Any individual having a license can carry out the operations of a business without any disruptions.

Information which might help

• Approval is not required for licensing agreements involving trademarks and technical know-how other than “process secrets.”
• A stiff withholding tax is levied on royalty payments unless a double taxation treaty exists. There is a U.S.-Egyptian treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, which limits the tax on royalty payments to 15% of the gross amount of such royalty.
• Numerous government and private companies have licensing agreements with foreign firms under which royalties and other fees are freely transferred abroad pursuant to individual corporate agreements.
• Examples of licensed production in Egypt include name-brand clothing, personal care products, kitchen utensils, laser alignment equipment and military vehicles.
