    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Tax Procedures Bill, 2015 be now read a Second Time. First, I thank Members of this 11th Parliament for the continued support they have given to the Government in the modernisation of our tax laws, and in the improvement of the tax administration system in our country. We have been restructuring our tax laws in order to make tax administration easier, efficient and to enhance compliance by the taxpayers. This was evident in the enactment of the Value Added Tax, 2013 by this House. The Tax Procedures Bill, 2015 is aimed at consolidating common tax procedures into one piece of legislation. Such tax procedures include filing of returns, record keeping, assessment, communication with the taxpayers, objections raised by the taxpayers, appeals and enforcement, which are common in all tax laws across the globe. For example, the Value Added Tax (VAT), the Excise Duty and the Income Tax will all be consolidated in one piece of legislation called the “Tax Procedures Act”. An investor who wants to invest in the country will not find it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
