I believe that part 4 of your request, for “reports and recommendations made to the
Government”, and part 5 of your request, for the “Government's decision making process
on how they came up with the new tax policy announced 28/9 especially in relation to
the consultation feedback”, are more closely connected with the functions of the Minister
of Revenue.
Accordingly, under section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA, parts 4 and 5 of your request have been
transferred to the Minister of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue will have 20 working days
from receiving this transfer to make a decision on those parts of your request.
