Those unfortunate to not have been here in 2006 when Egypt was both host and winner of the tournament will be in for a treat, as the entire country turned into one big party. Chances for another win look good (World Cup performance notwithstanding), with Mo Salah being named African footballer of the year.

(AFCON) dominated the airwaves last night (and we have that coverage in the SR below), but what\u2019s really got us interested is Hona Al Asema\u2019s look at the impact of customs on European cars falling to zero on car prices.<\/p>\n<p><b>1600cc and 2000cc European cars see prices fall by up to 20%:<\/b> European cars with 1600cc engines have gone down between EGP 10,000 to EGP 50,000, Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce\u2019s auto division member Alaa El Saba told Hona Al Asema. Prices of 1600cc cars decreased 3-8% while prices of cars with engines of 2000cc or more were down by 15-20% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hjcVTypKY7M\">(watch, runtime: 05:32)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> Auto assemblers have long sought to get the automotive directive \u2014 which sets incentives for assemblers to move up the value chain to manufacturing to compete with EU and regional cars \u2014 passed before customs on these cars fall to zero. Some, including GB Auto Chairman Raouf Ghabbour have claimed that customs falling to zero would not have the desired effect on prices. Regardless of where prices fall, it can only be helped further by competitive domestic manufacturing industry.<\/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\/automotive-directive\/\">Automotive Directive<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/customs\/\">customs<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/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=\"599733\" 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=\"599733\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/09\/tax-authority-not-looking-to-impose-10-capital-gains-tax-on-all-egypts-corporates\/\">\r\n                            Tax Authority not looking to impose 10% capital gains tax on all Egypt\u2019s corporates                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/09\/tax-authority-not-looking-to-impose-10-capital-gains-tax-on-all-egypts-corporates\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

According to Hussein, the proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act that look to unify the capital gains tax for listed and privately held companies were drafted by the House of Representatives and have yet to make their way to the Finance Ministry for review or sign-off. Hussein stressed that the levy remains suspended for listed companies until 2020, and that the Finance Ministry has yet to settle on how to impose the tax should it decide to revive it. A separate ministry source also tells us that there are studies underway on the matter.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> The House Planning and Budgeting Committee is planning on discussing this week the proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act, Committee Chair <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/08\/income-tax-act-amendments-to-equalize-capital-gains-tax-imposed-on-corporates\/\">Yasser Omar said<\/a> earlier this week. As it currently stands, the law imposes a 22.5% capital gains tax on unlisted companies, while listed corporations are subjected to a 10% tax. The Mehleb government had half-baked plans in 2015 to impose the tax on retail investors, but ultimately backed down after coming under pressure.<\/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\/egyptian-tax-authority\/\">Egyptian Tax Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/finance-ministry\/\">Finance Ministry<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/house-of-representatives\/\">House of Representatives<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/income-tax-act\/\">income tax act<\/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\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/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                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"599748\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"599749\" 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=\"599749\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/09\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-5\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/09\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-5\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
