Egypt will impose a new value-added tax of EGP0.50 ($0.02) on locally sold tobacco products, reports Ahram Online.
On Oct. 29, the House of Representatives approved an amendment to the 2016 VAT law to allow for the new duty, which will apply to both “hot” tobacco (cigarettes) and “liquid” tobacco (vapes), according to Fakhri El-Fiqi, head of the House’s Planning and Budget Committee.
