Maait is currently in Asia on a roadshow ahead of a series of global bond issuances and attended yesterday a workshop on cross-border information sharing at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).<\/p><p><b>You can expect public consultations on new tax procedures and e-billing system over the coming two weeks:<\/b> Maait said his ministry will put proposed legislation on new unified tax procedures and an electronic tax filing system up for public discussion in two weeks\u2019 time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/406921\/14\/-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9--%D8%AA%D8%B7%D8%B1%D8%AD-%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%AC%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%8A\">Al Mal reports<\/a>. We remind readers that however this may be positioned by some domestic press outlets, <b>the changes do not presage a change in tax rates<\/b>, which the government has repeatedly said will not change anytime soon. (Maait\u2019s most recent assurance on that front came on Sunday in Cairo.) Rather these are simplified procedures that allow for unified filing of income taxes and VAT, as well as implementing a new electronic billing system that would help the ministry keep tabs on the books.<\/p><p><b>Speaking of taxes \u2014 the national healthcare tax is 0.25%: <\/b>A number of readers have reached out to us to suggest that the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/11\/12\/we-break-down-the-taxes-under-the-universal-healthcare-act-and-their-timings\/\">national tax on revenues<\/a> to fund the new healthcare system under the Universal Healthcare Act is 0.0025% as that was the tax rate that ran in the Official Gazette. That\u2019s unfortunately incorrect: We checked months ago with the Finance Ministry (and did so again this week). They, like other friends of Enterprise, confirmed to us that the levy is in fact 0.25% \u2014 the taxman will take EGP 2.5 out of every EGP 1,000 in sales revenues. The ministry has issued a correction on the Official Gazette. Also remember that the 0.25% levy doesn\u2019t count as an expense that would reduce your taxable income.<\/p><hr class=\"grey-line\"><p><b>The head of the US development finance agency <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a5783dd0-18e9-11e9-9e64-d150b3105d21\"><b>is in the running<\/b><\/a><b> to become president of the World Bank. <\/b>Ray Washburne heads the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a government agency that has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/08\/09\/what-were-tracking-on-9-august-2018\/\"><b>stalwart investor in Egypt<\/b><\/a>.

The agreements appears more tangible by the day, the policy appears to gain favor among EU countries, who have begun holding talks to ink such an agreement.<\/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\/diplomacy\/\">DIPLOMACY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/diplomacy-foreign-trade\/\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/illegal-immigration\/\">illegal immigration<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/unhcr\/\">UNHCR<\/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=\"600005\" 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=\"600005\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/16\/sdx-announces-gulf-of-suez-oil-find\/\">\r\n                            SDX announces Gulf of Suez oil find                        <\/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\/16\/sdx-announces-gulf-of-suez-oil-find\/\" 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();
