3. Members agreed that there should be no increase in the VAT
rate or reduction in Corporate Income Tax (CIT) at this time, to
maintain economic stability. The Forum advocated for the
continued exemption of essential goods and agricultural
produce from VAT to safeguard the welfare of citizens and
promote agricultural productivity.

4. The meeting recommended that there should be no terminal
clause for TETFUND, NASENI, and NITDA in the sharing of
development levies in the bills.

5. The meeting supports the continuation of the legislative
process at the National Assembly that will culminate in. the
eventual passage of the Tax Reform Bills.
