The Ministry expects the full automation of the tax authority within one year. Cybercrime Law Cybercrime law aims to combat crime through regulating the use of the internet in Egypt in order to prohibit the illicit use of information networks and it legalizes internet censorship. The Parliament Communications Committee approved 3 articles of the draft law which led to the government blocking hundreds of websites. Prior to that in May of 2017, the Government had already blocked several websites including: Mada Masr, Daily News Egypt, and Al-Jazeera. The state authority responsible for investigating cybercrime is yet to be determined. The law stipulates that any individual responsible for operating or owning a website or a social media account that encourages cybercrime may face up to 1 year of imprisonment and a fine of EGP 20,000 to EGP 200,000. Websites posting material threatening to national security can be blocked through a judicial process. Administrators of blocked websites can appeal the decision 7 days post its implementation.

The law stipulates the formation of a committee in each governorate to determine the value of the meter and the violation according to the city.
