    "content": "On the issue of individual income taxes, we had reduced the highest tax from 30 per cent to 25 per cent. We are trying to reinstate it so that people go back to where they were before COVID-19. There is also the issue of VAT under Section 17, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section. A registered person who is a manufacturer may make deductions of input tax. What this clause is trying to do is to protect local manufactures. Right now, if local manufacturers make supplies to eight funded projects, they are not eligible to claim any VAT. It makes their products very expensive and non-competitive. Therefore, that market has been exclusively for import. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
