The Tax System Bill is among the issues to be discussed during the 11th Ordinary Session of the Cuban Parliament, convened for July 23.

The legislative bill will be the focus, along with other issues, of debates by lawmakers of the 7th Legislature of the People's Power National Assembly, to be held at Havana's Conference Center.

According to Granma newspaper, the bill has long been the object of study by the permanent commissions on Economic Affairs, and Constitutional and Judicial Affairs.

That analysis is being made in conjunction with Ministry of Finance and Prices, the National Tax Administration Office and other agencies and the state and government institutions, the daily states.

The proposal has been extensively debated by all legislators in their respective territories, and responds to the need to replace the current Law No. 73 on the Tax System, adopted on August 4, 1994, in correspondence with the changes undergone by the tax system, says the newspaper.

Cuban legislators will also debate reports about the course of the implementation process of agreements from the 6th Congress of the Cuban Communist Party, and the Liquidation of the 2011 State Budget.

The lawmakers will also analyze the implementation of the Economy Plan and Budget in the first semester of 2012 and a report from the Public Health Ministry.

The parliamentarians will previously meet in different working commissions to debate issues such as the update of Cuba's economic model, the energy situation, health and education, and the foreign policy, among other issues.
