The import of this amendment is to defer the Value Added Tax on petrol, diesel and other things like that. These taxes were passed in 2016, but they were deferred for two years until now, 2018. If we impose these taxes at the moment, we are going to create a lot of inflation in the country and the cost of living will be very high.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose this amendment. Banks operate with owners of accounts in a very confidential manner. If you want your next of kin to have a say in your account even when you die, then open a joint account with them. If you have left money in the account, the Unclaimed Assets Authority will give your assets to the people you have left behind. This is very ambiguous.
