Introduce new amendments to the AML Act to parliament to cover important tax crimes, as defined in the TMU.
Introduced at R9. Macroeconomic rationale: Use anti-money laundering tools to combat tax evasion. At R10, modified to new SB, "Amend the schedule of the AML Act, by notification in the Federal Gazette, to include offenses under the income tax law as predicate offenses to money laundering (modified SB)." Reason: Parliamentary authorization for amending the schedule of tax crimes is already granted in existing AML Act. From SR: "As authorization for the government to amend the schedule of tax crimes is already granted under the existing AML Act, the authorities do not plan to make further legal amendments (missed end-January SB) but rather to amend the schedule of the AML Act, by notification in the Federal Gazette, to include offenses under the income tax law as predicate offenses to money laundering (modified SB for May 15, 2016)."
