    "content": "THAT, Clause 17 of the Bill be amended in the proposed subsection (1A) by deleting the word “before computing the tax deductible” and substituting therefor the words “in computing the allowable deductions”. Hon. Temporary Chairman, as you can remember, the amendments we did on the Tax Procedures and Tax Amendment Acts in December brought various taxable deductions for Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE). We said that we deduct the taxable allowance before we calculate PAYE. However, tax payers have reported to us during public participation that we have quite a number of employers who are not allowing those expenses as tax allowable. Therefore, they are now leaving the employed Kenyans to claim this when filing their income tax at the end of the year. Therefore, this amendment is seeking to compel the tax payer to allow for tax reduction on those tax allowable expenses for PAYE. I beg to move."
