Speaker, I beg your indulgence in relation to the business listed as Order No. 17, the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 11 of 2025), and request that I stand down this Bill for today. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is yet to finalise its Report. We had agreed with the Chairman of the Committee that they need to establish the exact quantum of what is sought to be exempted and the beneficiaries of those exemptions. We also want to ascertain that they are actual investments that have been made in the country in relation to the exemptions that have been sought through this Bill. Therefore, I beg your indulgence that we step down that business from the Order Paper today until such a time that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning will finalise that Report."
