    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in appreciating the work that has gone into the preparation of this Bill, all the way from the National Treasury to our own Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. This Bill entails making tax payment procedures simple, clear, and ensuring that there is no ambiguity. Therefore, any attempts towards improving the way taxes are processed in this country should be supported. On that note, I support the Bill because once we get that right, it will be very easy for this country to collect more taxes. I have said many times that a taxpayer is like a milk cow. If you feed it well, it will give you a lot of milk. You will not get any milk from it if you do not feed it. How you treat a taxpayer will determine how much taxes they will pay. If you make it very simple for them to know how much they are expected to pay, the penalty for late payment, and the refund procedure in case of over-payment, it will be very easy for them to continue paying taxes without complaining."
