    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: - THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on The Tax Procedures (Tax Agents) Regulations, 2018 laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, August 23, 2018 and pursuant to the provisions of section 15 (1) of the Statutory Instruments Act and Standing Order 210 (4) (b), annuls in entirety the said Regulations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee on Delegated Legislation was seized with this matter on 4th July 2018 when the House committed the regulations to the Committee. Section 112 of the Tax Procedures Act 2015 provides that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) may make regulations for the better carrying into effect of the provisions of this Act. The said regulations had the effect of achieving the following objectives: One was to prescribe the conditions and procedures for registration of tax agents. Two, it was to outline the functions of tax agents and three, to establish the tax agents committee, which was to consider applications for registration of tax agents and lastly, to prescribe the procedure for investigation of allegations of misconduct by tax agents. The expected benefit for the regulations is to allow taxpayers to seek the services of professional tax agents and to allow compliance with the requirements of the tax law. This is meant to ensure that tax compliance is improved across the country and also to improve the economy at large. It will also enhance revenue administration."
