<\/a> The House of Representatives needs to move quickly if it wants to prevent <\/strong>every business with more than 10 people on payroll <\/strong>from being hit with a new(ish) 1% tithe on net profits <\/strong>as the Manpower Ministry looks at how enforce a decision published in the Official Gazette (pdf)<\/a> on 22 May. The decision orders ministry inspectors to inform businesses with 10 or more employees that they have one month to pay the tithe. The fee is supposed to flow into the ministry\u2019s training fund.<\/p>\n

MPs have a way out if they finally pass proposed revisions to the Labor Act<\/strong>, which would see the 1% hit to net profit replaced with a new tax that would cap the per-employee contribution to the training fund at EGP 50 \u2014 a much more reasonable figure.<\/p>\n

So what, exactly, is this 1% tithe on net profits? <\/strong>Article 134 of the current Labor Act of 2003 requires businesses with at least 10 employees to pay 1% of their net income into a Manpower Ministry \u201ctraining fund.\u201d The fund is supposed to finance job skills training programs and training centers nationwide.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not paying that 1% fee now \u2014 it\u2019s been held in abeyance because of a lawsuit. <\/strong>The fee had been the subject of a lawsuit that made its way to the Supreme Constitutional Court back in 2009 after ExxonMobil filed suit against the government, claiming the tithe was unconstitutional. The Manpower Ministry's decision to start collecting the tax comes after the SCC issued a ruling<\/a> in favor of the government in March of this year, saying the article does not violate the constitution. Under the court\u2019s ruling, ExxonMobil is required to pay the ministry by the time the government closes out its budget at the end of the fiscal year \u2014 ie: 30 June, the last day of this month. That explains the one-month timeline in the Gazette.<\/p>\n

KEEP <\/strong>CALM- Nothing is set in stone \u2014 yet: <\/strong>The Manpower Ministry is still sorting out the details of how the tithe will be enforced, a government source with insider knowledge tells Enterprise. \u201cThe ministry\u2019s counsel is currently working on the mechanisms for enforcing the article,\u201d he told us, declining to say more.<\/p>\n

Until the ministry speaks, there remains the risk that the tithe will be collected \u2014 and that <\/strong>it could be retroactive. <\/strong>\u201cThis point [retroactivity] still isn\u2019t clear and will require further reading and guidance from the government\u2019s legal counsel,\u201d a member of the board of the ministry\u2019s training fund tells us. A top advisor to the National Council of Wages, though, tells us that it is \u201cunlikely that the decision will be applied retroactively.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE SAVING GRACE: The new Labor Act would do away with the tithe \u2014 if it passes the <\/strong>House. <\/strong>Article 19 of the proposed New Labor Act (pdf)<\/a> would see the 1% tithe replaced by a monthly tax of 0.25% on salaries covered by social ins. The tax per employee would be capped at EGP 50 per month<\/strong>, with an EGP 5-per-person floor. If, for example, a company has 100 employees covered by social ins. the maximum it would pay the ministry\u2019s training fund under the new Labor Act would be EGP 5k per month.<\/p>\n

So where is the new Labor Act? Stuck in parliament \u2014 and that\u2019s the risk to business.<\/strong> Sources at the House tell us the draft act is still in committee-level discussions during a busy season for the House \u2014 MPs are focused right now on higher priority legislation including the state budget (see separate story, below). The bill earned approval in the Senate, the nation\u2019s upper house of parliament, in February, as we reported at the time<\/a> \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t seem to have moved since.<\/p>\n
