Plant and machinery of chapters 84 and 85 used for the manufacture of goods: Provided that the exemption shall lapse on 31st December, 2021 (f) by inserting the following paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)− (c) in Part II, by deleting paragraph 18A. What I would like to do here is to drop our amendments on (a) and (b). I want to explain why. What we were trying to do by deleting these particular clauses was to protect syringes that are used for our vaccines and so on. When we had a conversation with the National Treasury, we discovered that all syringes have actually been covered under paragraph 32 of the VAT Act. So, they were deleting Clauses 33 and 34 to tidy up the Act. I have seen it with my own eyes and you can check the VAT Act. Clause 32 contains all the syringes. So Clauses 33 and 34 are just additions. So, deletion of these two is simply to tidy up. The Committee was trying to actually protect the syringes but Treasury explained that these were not to delete them but just to tidy up the Act. So, I would like to drop our amendments (a) and (b)."
