These bills scrapped several taxes, including the 1% Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), the 10% withholding tax on betting and lottery winnings, and the Emissions Levy on industries and vehicles. The government also removed the VAT on motor vehicle insurance and the 1.5% withholding tax on unprocessed gold from small-scale miners.
