IN THE HOUSE-<\/p>\n

<\/a> The Hou<\/strong>se gave the initial thumbs up to the entirety of the re-drafted Labor Act<\/strong>, with the bill's final approval by the legislative body penciled in for an upcoming session. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mahmoud Fawzi told the House that the Labor Ministry will work in tandem with MPs to revisit and amend some of the draft law\u2019s provisions. The law introduces significant reforms across its 298 articles, aiming to ensure fair working hours and fast-track dispute resolution. <\/p>\n

Why revisit the act? <\/strong>The government has requested that some articles be reconsidered to ensure they line up with international standards and ensure the act strikes a balance between workers and employers, Fawzi said, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

Gov\u2019t <\/strong>looks to eliminate tax filings that don\u2019t have the necessary documents:<\/strong> The Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) is working to eliminate tax returns that are not supported by the necessary documentation as part of an effort to transition to desk audits \u2014 that is, audits that are conducted remotely, ETA head Rasha Abdel Aal said in a statement. The authority aims to avoid field audits unless the taxpayer's file indicates a high-risk level.<\/p>\n

The gov\u2019t has been looking to limit full audits:<\/strong> The Finance Ministry issued<\/a> a directive last month allowing some big taxpayers to transition to sample-based audits instead of comprehensive audits, in a move that is expected to ease the burden on businesses by reducing the number of companies subject to full audits. Following the directive, only 20% of taxpayers are to be selected for annual reviews, based on risk assessment indicators such as tax evasion history, reported losses, and discrepancies in tax filings, informed sources told EnterpriseAM at the time.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

<\/a> Israel ramps up airstrike, killing tens:<\/strong> Israeli airstrikes killed two senior Hamas leaders in Gaza between Saturday and Sunday, in what appears to be a renewed escalation of the war. Hamas said political bureau member Ismail Barhoum was killed in an Israeli strike on the surgery department of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Sunday, which also killed a handful of civilians. A separate strike on Saturday reportedly killed Salah Al Bardaweel, another top political figure in the group. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the strike targeted Barhoum, describing him as a key figure in the group. At least 45 people were killed in the strikes on Rafah and Khan Younis on Sunday alone. <\/p>\n

Tel Al Sultan under siege:<\/strong> Israeli troops have surrounded the Tel Al Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah, issuing evacuation warnings and claiming the operation aims to \u201cdismantle terror infrastructure sites.\u201d (Reuters<\/a> | AP<\/a>)<\/p>\n
