Industrial companies will receive relief in the form of lower energy and tax costs, and equity investors will be granted generous breaks to taxes on dividend and stamp duty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taxes on EGX transactions slashed to support equity investors:<\/strong> The government has moved to sharply cut the tax burden on EGX investors in a bid to shore up demand in the equity markets, which have fallen precipitously in the wake of the virus outbreak. The moves include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stamp tax cuts:<\/strong> Foreign investors will pay stamp tax on EGX transactions at a reduced rate of 0.125%, instead of 0.15%. Residents will pay just 0.05% stamp tax, down from 0.15%. All spot transactions on the EGX will also be made exempt from stamp tax.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capital gains tax postponed for two years:<\/strong> Capital gains tax on EGX transactions will be reintroduced on 1 January 2022, and <strong>foreign investors will be made permanently exempt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tax on dividends cut in half:<\/strong> Investors will now pay a withholding tax of 5% on dividend payouts from listed companies, down from 10% previously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Real estate tax relief:<\/strong> Companies operating in the industrial and tourism sectors will receive a three-month real estate tax holiday and will be permitted to repay existing real estate tax liabilities in monthly installments over the next six months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower energy costs for factories:<\/strong> The government has lowered the price of natural gas for the entire industrial sector to USD 4.50 \/ mmBtu. This will mean a 25% price cut for cement companies which were paying USD 6.00 \/ mmBtu, and an 18% cut for metallurgy and ceramic manufacturers which were paying USD 5.50 \/ mmBtu. The price of electricity per kWh was also lowered by 10 piasters for medium, high and ultra-high voltages, and will be frozen for the next 3-5 years. <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2020\/03\/17\/1308712\">Government sources said<\/a> the electricity price cuts could cost around EGP 6 bn alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Government to pay out EGP 1 bn in arrears by the end of April:<\/strong> The Export Subsidy Fund will pay out the entire EGP 1 bn in arrears during March and April and the 10% in cash payments during June.
