The paper suggested that as long as there is corruption by procurement officials and other public officials, the government should consider doing away with charging VAT on its procurement goods and services and instead concentrate on buying goods at the recommended retail or wholesale price, arguing that any tax levied on their supplies ends up making the government not only lose the intended tax levy but also some extra money from its own funds. |
