B-016: National Defense Contribution Act, 1674

[Alfonso Velez]

Madam Speaker,

I'm happy to accept two of the Honourable Gentlemen's amendments as friendly:
 

ARTICLE 3. Exceptions to Income Tax

3. Income tax shall not be assessed nor shall any income tax return be filed by any single filer who shall earn less than 30,000 ecus in a calendar year or joint filers who earn less than 60,000 ecus in a calendar year.

and

ARTICLE 5. Enforcement

6. The Secretary of Finance or his designated agent is authorized to enter into compromise negotiations with and agreements with respect to payment of delinquent taxes, provided that any of the aforesaid agreements involving a sum of one million ecus or more, prior to being signed and gaining legal effect, must be approved in writing by the Prime Minister.

Regrettably, I cannot accept his other 3 amendments as friendly and ask the Speaker to open debate on those 3 amendments.
