1- I got my salary paid in cash not through the bank.
2- Tax system law: the tax office in Egypt deals with the companies as whole entities. I.e. each company calculates the due taxes for all its employees then reports to the taxes office. The tax office thereafter sends a deputy in order to validate the paid taxes. According to the laws, I can get a tax return income only from the company since I do not have a direct contact with the tax office and considering that each company pays the due taxes on its employees’ behalf. .
I tried to get an authentic letter stating such fact but as they mentioned this is a law and I can just refer to it. I have checked the articles that state such facts and here they are:
Article (14): Employers and those required to pay taxable revenues, including companies and projects established under the free zones regime, shall withhold, from the amounts payable and stipulated in article (9) of this law, an amount on account of the due tax, according to the percentage determined by the Executive Regulation of this law. They shall remit to the competent tax office within the first fifteen days of each month the payments withheld in the previous month.
Employers and those required to remit such revenue shall pay any tax differences due, without prejudice to their right to claim from the taxpayer what is owed.
Article (15): The person responsible for withholding and remitting the tax according to article (14) of this law shall:
1- Submit, to the competent tax office, a quarterly return in January, April, July and October of each year, using the form developed for such purpose.
2- Provide the employee, at the employee’s request, with a statement indicating full name, amount and type of income and amount of tax withheld. (this is the important part in the law, where it means the company can support the employer with a statement indicating full name, amount and type of income and amount of tax withheld).
Based on the above facts, I can get a tax income return from the employer ONLY; and based on the tier-1 guidelines then the employer letter and pay slips would be considered from the same source!!
However I can get a confirmation letter from third party (Certified audit Accountant Office) shows the previous earning (salary breakdown, gross/net), but I don't know if border agency can accept this letter as prove for past earning or not due to my case.
So far theses are the documents I managed to prepare:
1. Original bachelor degree certificate (gained from UK)
2. 12 original pay slips for the period (November 2007 - October 2008) signed and stamped.
3. A letter form the employer shows the salary breakdown gross/net signed and stamped.
4. Confirmation letter from third party certified audit accountant office, shows the previous earning (salary breakdown gross/net), signed and stamped.
5. Original Bank Statement for last 3 months (8, 9 and 10) for maintenance proves.
6. Letter from University. Shows that all of the taught courses and confirm that the instruction language was in English.
7. 1 x Passports passport.
points calculations
1- My age 26 (20 points).
2- Bachelor degree from UK (30 point).
3- Study/Work experience from UK (5 points).
4- Previous earning (20 points)
Total = 75 points
I just need to know is there is any possibility of success or not
.Thanks in advance.
