    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support these Value Added Tax (Amendment) Regulations of 2020. From where we come from, as the Committee on Finance and National Planning, it is important that tax collection systems are in order to optimize revenue and are as simple as possible. You remember when you and I were in this Parliament last term and we used to pick very bulky documents from the entrance but, today, we are paperless. We did not imagine that we could achieve that but we have. As we progress, if we continue to require people to work with bulky documents, we are likely to see higher default rates compared to if we have an electronic system. The fact that the regulations omitted allowing VAT electronic tax registers to be used by VAT registered persons is a good correction. I think what we are doing here is just making a small correction to the regulations and I really support. 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."
