(1) A Bill is a Money Bill if it contains only provisions about: (a) imposing/altering/regulating a tax; (b) regulating government borrowing or guarantees; (c) custody of the Consolidated Fund or Contingency Fund; (d) appropriation of money from the Consolidated Fund; (e) declaring expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund; (f) receipt of money into, or audit of accounts relating to, the Consolidated Fund or public account; (g) any matter incidental to the above. (2) A Bill isn't a Money Bill merely because it involves fines, licence fees, service fees, or local-authority taxation. (3) If a question arises whether a Bill is a Money Bill, the Speaker of the House of the People decides, and that decision is final. (4) Every Money Bill carries the Speaker's signed certificate confirming it as such.
