| Message | Mr Speaker, We feel this cannot be justified while income is still taxed at a staggering 16%. Both should be harmonised at 10%. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 18:24:45, July 10, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Christian Women's Association | To | Debating the Sales tax cut |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is an excellent measure. It is a scandal that the poor are taxed as they are for living in Luthori. Our tax system needs to be fundamentally overhauled. I yield the floor. Belinda Braithwaite (Viceroy & Leader of the LCWA) |
