"content": "Hon. Chairlady, well, taxes can be backdated. There is something we call provision of taxes order which is usually given. However, it should be aligned to the beginning of the financial year. That is why I found February a bit curious. It is not illegal to backdate tax though. You can backdate tax if you had already projected that for 12 months, we need to vary this and that tax to this and that amount to be in a position to collect so much. Immediately Parliament gives the provision of collection of taxes order which gets formalized through the Finance Bill--- We need to hear from the Chairman whether or not that is the case and why February is necessary. Indeed, February is another financial year altogether."
