    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the Tax Procedures (Amendment) Bill. I want to clarify that this is not additional taxes but tax procedures. I want to draw the attention of the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to Clause 2A(e) which states: “(e) the date and time which the tax invoice was issued and the date and time which the supply was made, if it is different from the date the tax invoice was issued.” I have an issue with Clause 2A(e), (f), (g) and (h). This will be very difficult to implement in the sense that the Electronic Tax Registers (ETRs) which the business people have cannot be reconfigured. Although what is proposed here is good, it may be impossible to implement. It is not possible to reconfigure all ETRs unless KRA buys new ones for all the business people. This will be very expensive. These proposed amendments are unnecessary and time- consuming. There is need to change them and I have already spoken to the Vice-Chairman, Hon. (Amb) Benjamin. Clause 3A states: “(3A) Without prejudice to subsection (3), where supply is received from a small business or a small-scale farmer, whose turnover does not exceed one million the purchaser shall issue a tax invoice for the purpose of ascertaining tax liability.”"
