Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also comment on this Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill. First, on the issue of VAT Act, I support some amendments. On the VAT Act, the Chair is explaining that a taxpayer can offset a tax directly at their own level. I believe this needs to be interrogated further otherwise I can see loopholes where we may lose revenue because of fake cases of offsetting tax within companies."}
