would turn the Country into a Tax Haven 
 
MPs: Mr Speaker, Mr President, Members of Parliament 
Mr Speaker: I have a document which contains a draft proposal for a new law - “Bill”. 
The objective is to convince members of parliament. Before a Bill comes to Parliament, 
the President must convince the members of parliament to approve a bill that would turn 
the country into a tax haven. I call Mr President to intervene. 
Mr President: Before I go any further, I urge every member of both parties, people of all 
religions and of all colours, from every section of this nation, to join me in that cause. 
Also, I would like to inform you that the tax system is a way that ensures the development 
of any nation. It is also a key part of the socio-economic growth. 
Members of Parliament: In which way Mr President would turn the country into a tax 
haven? 
Mr President: To make a haven the tax system of our country, the best way to achieve 
therefore, is to reorganize the tax system, following by an improvement of tax concepts 
aiming at especially yield enough money to develop our resources in the face of social 
reality that the country goes through to the present day. 
Members of Parliament: In which way Mr President would reorganize the tax system 
in our country? 
Mr President: It is essential to improve the system and introduce major changes that 
resulted in the introduction of principles of social justice, simplicity, efficiency and 
effectiveness of the tax system doing: enlargement of tax base; increase the elasticity of 
revenue in relation to the growth of Gross Domestic Product; introducing Value Added 
Tax as a major source of revenue for state coffers; increase the level of tax revenue

income tax system and a great information and training of those who are in this area and
