    "content": " Thank you Hon. Chairlady. Let me make a clarification so that we move together. Hon. Members, Clause 2 has three sections. It has part (a) that talks about the definition of winnings, part (b) talks about the definition of digital content monetisation and his does not talk about the rate yet. We are just defining especially with what crowd-funding is and providing reference. Confirming is where you use, say M - Changa or WhatsApp to raise money for a particular cause. So, this amendment is not seeking to tax the amount of money raised in that particular crowd-funding but the fees that is going to be collected as an income to the person who does the crowd-funding. So, we are putting this under digital content monetisation so that they are available to tax. Part (c), has 3 parts. It is important that we tell the Members so that we know what we are doing. Part (c) is what Hon. Kaluma was talking about deletion of “persons”. The Committee has already proposed a deletion of that definition of persons that was giving liabilities to ancestors, family members and step brothers. So that is already moved as per amendment of Clause 2. With that I wanted to bring the House to speed. Thank you, Hon. Chairlady."
