This thematic structure replaces the previous consolidated 'Provisions' tab, allowing users to directly access specific areas like TDS or VAT without navigating through unrelated content. This granular approach significantly improves usability and aligns with the diverse information needs of different taxpayers (individuals vs. businesses). --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <!-- Visualization & Content Choices: Key data from the document is now fully represented. New, detailed tables are used for TDS rates for Residents, Non-Residents, and other provisions, making complex rate structures easy to reference. A dedicated section explains Investment Rebate rules with clear text before the interactive JS calculator. A new page details VAT changes using a structured list. The 'Compliance' section now centralizes filing methods, penalties, and the searchable PSR list. This comprehensive strategy ensures all critical information from the PDF is present and presented in the most accessible format (tables, lists, calculators). --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <!-- CONFIRMATION: NO SVG graphics used.
