Remittance Tax, Health Cover On Expat Visit Visas On Agenda

The Secretariat General of the National Assembly has distributed the agenda for Tuesday’s session, which include requests to lift the immunity of several MPs and some proposals, reports Al-Rai daily.

The Parliament will also discuss reports of the relevant committees about the proposal to impose tax on the remittances of expatriates, health insurance for expatriates on visit visa, and merging the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) and Manpower and Government Restructuring Program (MGRP).

MP focus on early retirement bill

The Early Retirement Bill has been the subject of dispute between the legislative and executive authorities since its passage in the last legislative term. The government refused to implement the bill, citing impracticality due to its financial impact; so the Parliament made it a priority to pass the bill once again in the current legislative term.

The legislature argued that the government’s concern can be addressed through simple amendment, pointing out the bill is a public demand and will greatly contribute to the successful implementation of the replacement policy.
