On point 5, what is the basis for wanting to extend the timeframe for producing a tax clearance certificate? If a person's tax affairs are in order, surely they will also be in order within either six or 12 months? Is this proposal causing practical difficulties? Is the purpose of the request for an extension to give people time to get their tax affairs in order when they should be in order in any case?
