    "content": "Just allow me to explain. The next one on No.134, the Committee wanted to exempt cook stoves, but if you look at Paragraph 66 of the VAT Act currently, it already contains those ones. So, we drop that particular one. We will keep 135 which relates to exemption of tax supplies including fish feeding and handling, water operations, cold storage, fish cages and the rest. As fish continues to depreciate, we need to incentivise cage fishing and other forms of fishing that will continue to support that particular sector. So, we retain the prefabricated biogas digesters, biogas, except 141. We would like to drop 141 based on consultation with the National Treasury. It was said that this would result in huge loss of income that might not be possible to reinstate. So we are also dropping 141. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move."
