Members of Parliament on Wednesday voted in favour of the Finance Bill 2023, paving the way for its determination by the committee of the whole House.
It followed an intense debate in Parliament to discuss the proposed tax measures which 176 MPs voted to endorse at the second reading stage while 81 MPs out of 257 opposed.
The Bill moved to the committee of the whole House where members will have a chance to push through their amendments.
The Committee will now consider the Bill clause by clause and take a vote on each of the clauses.
