settle their tax situation.


Osama Eldahshoury said: The doors are open to submit the tax return from mid-January till the end of June 2016 and those who will not
submit will be punished severely by paying $250000 and imprisonment for 5 years.

and obligations to avoid the severe punishment and lose the American passport.


Beside these punishment, there are other punishments will be imposed on banks for not cooperating by submitting bank statements for every
customer holding the American passport.
