    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule be amended— (b) in the proposed amendments to the Value Added Tax, 2013, by— (iii)deleting the proposed amendments to the following paragraphs of Part I of Section A of the First Schedule⸺ (d) paragraph 40; (e) paragraph 41; (f) paragraph 43; (g) paragraph 45; (h) paragraph 47; (i) paragraph 48; (j) paragraph 50; On paragraph 40, this was taxation on fishing nets that was to encourage fishing at this time; fish is a staple food in some parts of the country. Paragraph 41 was on taxation on mosquito nets; malaria is still a problem and therefore COVID-19 cannot introduce other problems elsewhere. Paragraph 43 is on animal feeds; if we make eggs, milk and other products from animals expensive, the timing will be wrong. So, we should not make them expensive. Paragraph 45 is on clean energy which is on generation of solar and wind energy, which is clean energy and that is where the world is moving. Paragraph 47 is on agriculture; it was going to make operation of tractors more expensive. Paragraph 48 is on manufacture of solar equipment which is still on clean energy. Finally, paragraph 50 is on aviation industry, it is going to impact negatively on the aviation which is temporarily dead."
