o 50% based on equality,
o 30% based on derivation, and
o 20% based on population.

“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.
