    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to second this Motion on the approval of the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the consideration of the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Regulations, 2019. The intention of these VAT regulations is to remove the disadvantages faced by exporters in terms of import tax especially on zero-rated goods. We need to make it smooth for competition by removing any disadvantages. That is the intention of these regulations. Therefore, as a Committee, we made a decision that we need to approve these regulations. First of all, these regulations met the minimum requirements, especially on the issue of statutory timelines in submission to this House for them to be considered. It was forwarded to this House within the time required and, therefore, there was no issue with the timeline. In the view of the Committee, the public participation which was conducted was sufficient on these regulations as stated by the Vice-Chair. I believe these regulations are good"
