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

?EXCLUSIVE- Government to link solidarity contribution to net income, scrapping <\/strong>revenue-based calculation.<\/strong> The finance and investment ministries are nearing an agreement to restructure the solidarity contribution, shifting the levy from a percentage of gross revenues to a tax on net income, a government source told EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n

The proposal on the table would set the contribution at 0.5% to 1% of<\/strong> net income<\/strong>, payable alongside the annual corporate income tax return. This would replace the current system, which charges 0.025% of revenues.<\/p>\n

Why this matters: <\/strong>Under the current revenue-based model, companies are liable for the fee even if they are making losses. The current law treats the contribution as a cost that cannot be deducted, creating an additional burden that erodes capital and liquidity, the source explained, noting that some investors exit the market because they were taxed while bleeding cash.<\/p>\n

It has been a tug-of-war over funding. <\/strong>Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib first outlined plans to overhaul the contribution back in September 2024, but the proposal stalled due to pushback from the guardians of the state budget. The solidarity contribution provides roughly 60% of the actual funding for the Universal Health Insurance System. Authorities were hesitant to tweak the formula for fear of creating a funding gap, but a compromise was reached, with t<\/strong>he Finance Ministry agreeing to cover any shortfall in revenue resulting from the change to ensure the insurance system\u2019s rollout timeline remains unaffected, we were told.<\/p>\n
