Any past VAT taxes the authority hasn\u2019t still remitted will be waived should the amendments become law, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Changes likely to be fast-tracked: <\/strong>The bill isn\u2019t expected to take long to be ratified as the SCA has accumulated a large pile of unpaid VAT, and wants to avoid having to raise transit and service fees amid competition from other waterways, director of taxpayer services at the Tax Authority Mohsen El Gayar told us. The SCA has not paid VAT on services since the act passed in 2016, due to disagreements on whether they fall under the act\u2019s purview, El Gayar said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is separate from the other VAT changes in the pipeline: <\/strong>The government had drafted and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/47ee5e24-b61f-4e40-b65b-14f6b59d2626\">approved<\/a> several changes to the VAT Tax Act last year as part of an overhaul to the 2016 legislation, but the changes are yet to make their way through the House. They include subjecting most commercial advertising to the tax, allowing tourists to claim VAT rebates, affording special economic zones including the Suez Canal Economic Zone the same VAT treatment as freezones, and closing exemptions for commercial and administrative real estate remain, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government is on a charm offensive right now to attract shipping companies to the<\/strong> <strong>canal.<\/strong> The SCA this week announced it would <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7c1ba074-e2af-40f9-8ce6-4d4b81d601ab\">slash transit fees<\/a> by up to 75% on some shipments travelling between Southeast Asia and Europe, the US and West Africa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And there\u2019s a good reason why:<\/strong> Suez Canal revenues are an important source of hard currency for Egypt, bringing in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/87a4efce-cb00-4f23-8a08-f9e83944bfed\">more than USD 550 mn<\/a> in April \u2014 their highest month on record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO FROM THE CABINET- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Multi-bn electric rail contract approved by the government: <\/strong>A contract the National Authority for Tunnels is due to sign with a Siemens-led consortium that also includes Orascom Construction and Arab Contractors to develop a USD 23 bn <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/3a852c99-ab78-4c24-8597-145fae51ea0b\">high-speed electric rail network<\/a> was approved by ministers. The consortium <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1038c78f-9a09-43cf-a58e-8d9cf988ffd7\">signed an MoU<\/a> with the authority <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1038c78f-9a09-43cf-a58e-8d9cf988ffd7\">earlier this year<\/a>. The three companies are expected to design, install, and commission the rail system \u2014 which could span a massive network of up to 1.7k.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/cabinet-watch\/\">cabinet watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/legislation\/\">legislation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/suez-canal-authority\/\">Suez Canal Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/tax\/\">tax<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/vat\/\">VAT<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"563265\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"563265\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Capital markets<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/06\/24\/giving-small-caps-a-chance-to-shine\/\">\r\n                            Giving small-caps a chance to shine?

Speaking to us this week is Ahmed Gaballah, founder and CEO of Sokna (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ahmedgaballah\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m Ahmed Gaballah, a former techie who\u2019s now in the funeral business.<\/strong> I started Egypt\u2019s first end-to-end funeral service, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sokna.com\">Sokna<\/a>, after spending 16 years in California working my way up the ranks at Google, Adobe and Facebook. I\u2019m a problem-solver who\u2019s drawn to new challenges and I saw an opportunity to transition the traditional and largely informal sector of funeral services in Egypt into something transparent and systematic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Being the CEO of a start-up, I\u2019m effectively wearing several hats all the time.<\/strong> I\u2019m in charge of handling strategy, expansion, growth and sourcing great talent. I also spend a lot of time studying international standards in funeral services so I can ensure we\u2019re adhering to best practices in the field. Business development is also a top priority for me, so I spend a lot of time meeting with potential partners like hospital CEOs and companies that are considering adding Sokna\u2019s services to their employees' benefits package.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I wake up at 7 am and the first thing I do is check my phone.<\/strong> We\u2019re a 24\/7 hour operation so I have to look at how our field teams have been doing and check for updates on what happened overnight. After that I usually listen to the news on Google Home, and scroll through Enterprise while I grab coffee from TBS or Brown Nose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The best remedy for me is polo.<\/strong> Nothing relieves stress like a good mallet swing. I have polo games scheduled three times a week first thing in the morning. I\u2019m actually a lifelong equestrian. I started out show jumping when I was younger and later transitioned into polo, which I now play regularly. I call my assistant on my way to the office at 8 am to run through the schedule for the day which typically consists of meetings, brainstorming sessions with the team, and field visits. I try to wrap things up by 7 pm but on busy days it's a little closer to 10 pm when I start to wind down. The reality is that I\u2019m thinking about work all the time though, even in my sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I like to decompress in the evenings by cooking or grabbing dinner with my fianc\u00e9.<\/strong> Every once in a while I try to get in a good chess game with a cup of tea before I head to bed.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Witnessing the chaos of organizing a funeral first hand was one of the early signals that something had to change.<\/strong> I was closely involved with supporting one of my closest friends in 2005 after his father passed away. I remember the experience being incredibly traumatic because of how stressful and chaotic it was. I wanted nothing to do with funeral services again and I actually refrained from attending any until 2013 when I was living in California. I was stunned by how different the experience was. I felt that my friend, who had suddenly passed away, got the calm and respectful end of life service that he deserved. This became the catalyst for starting the company: I wanted to solve a tangible problem that not only affected me personally but eventually affects everyone in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We intentionally chose to avoid marketing our services when we first launched.<\/strong> We rely mostly on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/soknagroup\/reviews\/?ref=page_internal\">online reviews<\/a> and word-of-mouth \u2013 which is actually how we prefer people find out about us. Otherwise, partnerships with 15 hospitals in Egypt that now have in-house spaces for Sokna staff to offer immediate support, gives us direct exposure to people who most need our services. Media coverage in several local and international news outlets have also helped drive familiarity with our services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re currently working on signing partnership agreements with more hospitals and private companies.<\/strong> I think corporations are starting to realize the importance of supporting their employees in times of loss. We\u2019ve had a number of companies approach us about providing services as part of their employee benefit packages. We\u2019re also working on growing our newly launched service called Pre-Planning, where people can make pre-arrangements for funeral services to ease the burden of decision making during a time of loss. For now, we cover anywhere in Egypt as long as the burial process starts or ends in the greater Cairo region, but we\u2019re looking to expand our geographic footprint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My time in tech taught me to focus on customers and their experience.<\/strong> Approaching problems through a well-structured process has been a crucial tactic that I learned from my previous work. Relying on data to measure quality, growth, customer satisfaction \u2014 and everything really \u2014 was an indispensable skill I picked up while working in the US. You can\u2019t make informed decisions without data. I also learned how to build and coach excellent teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The transition to Sokna wasn\u2019t easy at first.<\/strong> I had to do a lot of research and spend time on the ground in Egypt, establishing relationships with morticians, speaking with families experiencing loss, and pinpointing exactly where the process could be improved. I also spent substantial time in Asia and the US researching how funerary processes and systems worked there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a frontline service provider we don\u2019t have the luxury of WFH.<\/strong> We have to be available at a moment\u2019s notice to our customers wherever they are located in Greater Cairo. The company has been tech-enabled from day one, however, so we\u2019re able to communicate remotely through our internal infrastructure.
