Tenders and Auctions Act, Income Tax amendments to go to plenary session in April

LEGISLATION WATCH- The House of Representatives will discuss the Tenders and Auctions Act in a plenary session when it reconvenes in April, Planning and Budgeting Committee chair Hussein Issa tells Al Mal. The committee will put its “final touches” on the bill after the March presidential elections before it moves it to the general assembly’s agenda, according to Issa.

Amendments to the Income Tax Code that would push the deadline for submitting supplementary documentation to tax returns will also be up for discussion next month, he added, without elaborating. Both pieces of legislation had been expected to go to a plenary session this month.
