    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 51 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new Section 37E- (a) in subsection (1) by deleting the words “or fines” immediately after the words “or interest”; (b) In subsection (2) by deleting the words “, penalties or fines” immediately after the words “amnesty of interest” and substituting therefor the words “or penalties”; (c) In subsection (3) (a) by deleting the words “, penalties or fines” immediately after the words “amnesty of interest” and substituting therefor the words “or penalties”; (d) By deleting subsection (4) and substituting therefor the following new subsections- (4) Despite subsection (2), any amount of principal tax as at 31st December 2022 that remains unpaid on the 30th June, 2024, shall attract interest and penalties for which no amnesty shall be granted under this section. (5) Despite subsection (1) the Commissioner shall not remit, in whole or in part, any penalty or interest payable by a person, imposed under section 85. We are extending amnesty for those who perhaps registered a company five years ago, and do not know whether they registered it for VAT or not. Therefore, they unknowingly accumulate penalties and interest. If they apply to the Commissioner-General, they will be able to get amnesty for those penalties and interests that may have accrued, as long as they pay the principal amount. With that, I beg to move the amendment."
