    "content": "Commissioner may appoint a person to withhold two per cent of the taxable value on purchasing taxable supplies at the time of paying for the supplies and remit the same directly to the Commissioner. Why do you hold money? Why do we not have one invoice to pay the supplier and another to pay to KRA direct? Why do we give some people the right to hold the money that is supposed to be paid direct to KRA? In my opinion, the taxman should think about this further and bring details so that the Commissioner and supplier are each paid directly to their respective accounts. I will not fail to add my voice on issues of Income Tax, even if it is not captured in this Bill. This tax is the model for Augustus Caesar, which is too old and cannot save the economy of the country. This is because when you assess somebody’s account for five years for Income Tax, it gives more burden to the accountants and allows brokers to do injustice to taxpayers. Whatever language you use, whether we increase or raise the tax, we need to embrace innovation so that we bring more income to the country. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
