At the second reading, the motions to amend were reviewed which specified the implementing provisions and the due dates for the entry into force thereof, with a view to alleviating the impact experienced by undertakings as a result of raising the value added tax rate at a too short notice.

A second extraordinary session for the third reading of the Bill will take place an hour after the end of the specified session.
