The executive proposes a regulation that imposes a tax on digital services. The constitution assigns the power to levy taxes to the legislature, but the executive may make secondary legislation under an enabling act that permits regulations "necessary for the efficient administration of public services". The enabling act does not mention taxation. Is the executive's regulation constitutionally valid? Answer Yes or No and give the reason.

Answer Options

A. Yes - the regulation is valid because taxation of digital services falls within the executive's inherent powers to regulate commerce.
B. No - the regulation is invalid because the executive lacks any power to create secondary legislation.
C. Yes - the executive may impose taxes under the enabling act's broad language of "necessary for the efficient administration of public services."
Correct Answer D. No - the regulation exceeds the executive's delegated authority because taxation is a legislative power not authorised by the enabling act.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
No - the regulation exceeds the executive's delegated authority because taxation is a legislative power not authorised by the enabling act.
