Kuria Kimani","speaker":null,"content":"THAT, Clause 50 of the Bill be amended – (a) by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph – (a) in subsection (1) (a) by deleting the words “and input Value Added Tax” and substituting therefor the words “and Value Added Tax payable on imports” (b) by inserting the following paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)- (ba) in subsection (3) by deleting the words “ninety days” and substituting therefor the words “one hundred and twenty days”. This amendment is seeking to allow for offset of Value-Added Tax payable on imports. This also came from public participation especially from our manufacturers. They said that when they import raw materials for value addition that are subject to VAT, they were not being allowed to claim that input VAT on the imports when computing their output tax. We, therefore, agreed with the manufacturers that we try to grow our manufacturing sector. That is the import of this amendment."},{"id":1587565,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1587565/?format=json","text_counter":647,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Question of the amendment proposed)"},{"id":1587566,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1587566/?format=json","text_counter":648,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
