As of 2020, the tax burden sub-score on the Economic Freedom Index for Egypt was 86.1. This was an increase of 0.9 points from the preceding year. Between 2000 and 2020, the tax burden value ranged between 64.7 points in 2006 and 90.8 points in 2008. For the period under review, the Egyptian tax burden score was below the world average from 2000 to 2006, and the African average from 2001 to 2006. In 2007, the sub-score improved significantly by 25.7 points from 2006, and remained higher than both averages until 2020. This occurred due to a new income tax in June 2005, as well as a unified corporate law. According to the index, the score for tax burden in Egypt was considered "free" from 2007 to 2020.

The source did not provide the date of publication. The release date is the date the statistic was accessed.
The Economic Freedom Index was co-published by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation and was started in 1994.
The source considers the Sub-Saharan Africa region without the North African countries as they are included in the MENA region. Therefore, the African average has been calculated by Statista based on the original data for each country. The African average includes 52 countries until 2011 and 53 countries from 2012 onwards.
The Economic Freedom Index is divided into 12 variables grouped in four categories:
1) Rule of law: property rights, judicial effectiveness, and government integrity
2) Government size: tax burden, government spending, and fiscal health
3) Regulatory efficiency: business freedom, labor freedom, and monetary freedom
4) Market openness: trade freedom, investment freedom, and financial freedom
