Government to send SMEs law to the House for approval in October

The Ismail government is planning to send legislation regulating small- and medium-sized enterprises to the House of Representatives when MPs reconvene in October, Al Borsa reports. The House SMEs Committee will merge the incoming law with another SMEs bill that was referred to parliament during its most recent session, committee head Hala Abul Saad says. The article provides no details on either law, but the House had been waiting on Cabinet to send over a law on taxing SMEs last October, and the Ismail government had also approved decisions to establish sole proprietorships in August 2016.
