• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: This is proposal to delete. This is a matter that Members ventilated heavily on during Second Reading and it is the proposal to delete the role of the National Assembly in making of VAT regulations. So, the Committee proposes to delete this particular clause. view

• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: 139. The supply of denatured ethanol of tariff number 2207.20.00(for household cooking and heating) 140. Denatured bioethanol of tariff number 2207.20.00 141. Plant and machinery of chapters 84 and 85 used for the manufacture of goods: Provided that the exemption shall lapse on 31st December, 2021 (f) by inserting the following paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)− (c) in Part II, by deleting paragraph 18A. What I would like to do here is to drop our amendments on (a) and (b). I want to explain why. What we were trying to do by deleting these particular clauses was to protect syringes ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We would like to keep (c). We would like to delete the item “ordinary bread” appearing in paragraph 39. On this particular amendment, the claim by Treasury is that bread appears both as exempt and zero-rated. So, what we have decided to do here is delete it from exempt and later on in the amendments, we will reinstate it under zero-rated so that this never becomes a debate again. This is because every time bread is touched, the word is “no, we are just cleaning it up because it is under both zero-rated and exempt.” So, here we are removing ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We would like to drop the entire Clause (d) that speaks to food preparations suitable for infants. The reason is if you look at the list of exempt, the one that is on page 550 of the Finance Bill, codes 040221 and 040229 all contain infant milk, the ones that we wanted to exempt, but they are already exempted. We discovered this new code which reads: “Food preparations suitable for infants”, is for cerelac. While the Committee wanted to protect baby milk, cerelac becomes a choice. You may want to give your child uji or cerelac. So, we would like ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Under (e), we have cerelac. ‘Cerelac’ is even a name of a coalition. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Just allow me to explain. The next one on No.134, the Committee wanted to exempt cook stoves, but if you look at Paragraph 66 of the VAT Act currently, it already contains those ones. So, we drop that particular one. We will keep 135 which relates to exemption of tax supplies including fish feeding and handling, water operations, cold storage, fish cages and the rest. As fish continues to depreciate, we need to incentivise cage fishing and other forms of fishing that will continue to support that particular sector. So, we retain the prefabricated biogas digesters, biogas, except 141. We ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The former Leader of the Majority Party is my good friend and is giving us a light moment. In addition to the moving I did, there is a bit of clean up I needed to do under 139 where it says that the supply of denatured ethanol of Tariff Number 2207.20.00 to remove the words “for household cooking and heating”. The words in brackets. Also, to drop 140 because 139 and 140 are one and the same thing. Otherwise, I beg to submit. view
