    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting the proposed Clause 2 and substituting therefor the following new clause— 2. Section 6A of the Income Tax Act is amended in subsection (1) by deleting− (a) the words “one hundred and forty-four thousand shillings” and substituting therefor the words “two hundred and eighty-eight thousand shillings”; and (b) the word “ten” and substituting therefor the word “fifteen”. The justification for this amendment is that there is a proposal to increase the upper limit for rental income from the current Ksh10 million to Ksh15 million and the lower limit from Ksh144,000 to Ksh288,000, in line with what was done in the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, to relieve employees who are earning Ksh24,000 and below per month. Those who are in the informal sector and earning rental income have also been relieved in line with what we did. Anybody receiving rent up to Ksh288,000 per year is relieved from paying rental tax."
