Double taxation treaty · signed 1964
Egypt & Norway double tax treaty
Egypt and Norway have a double taxation agreement, signed in 1964, in force. It decides which country taxes your cross-border income and caps the withholding tax on payments between the two, so the same income is not taxed twice.
Withholding tax caps under the treaty
| Payment | Max withholding tax |
|---|---|
| Dividends (qualifying / direct holding) | |
| Dividends (portfolio) | |
| Interest | |
| Royalties | 15% |

What the Egypt-Norway treaty means for you
If you are tax-resident in Egypt or Norway and receive dividends, interest or royalties from the other country, the treaty caps the tax withheld at source at the rates above, and you generally credit that against tax at home. It also sets tie-breaker rules that decide your single country of residence if both would treat you as resident, which matters when you relocate mid-year.
