We'll see how happy you are when you food bill rising to extortionate rates, your electricity bills go up instead of down as promised by the great potcake, not only will businesses see the impact of direct VAT on the goods and services they sell, they are also the ones that will likely be in the higher usage brackets for stuff like electricity and water and phones, all that will impact the cost of business and drive the prices up even more than what the simple VAT percentage is...15% is a joke and ain't going to cover the new cost of business. Be careful what you wish for.
I agree that life may be a bit harsh...but there should have been some sort of monetary hit...you are never going to see the 1.2M that is for sure, but at least have a 'token' monetary hit in there...maybe something to the effect of covering the legal fees, or maybe the cost of incarceration...as it is, he isn't going to pay a single penny.
Bring on the VAT folks...let's party!! *sigh* Just make all your brothers, sisters, sweeties, business partners, whatever, pay the existing taxes they owe, pay their government run utility bills, instead of racking up millions in unpaid bills and this country will be fine. Pay what you owe first, or collect what you are owed FIRST before we go down this path of destruction that is VAT.
Of course the police are responsible...are the security teams that are assigned to the PM...and in this case should have been assigned to the DPM police officers, or a private security firm...is the RBPF not responsible for manning those security details...YES...so of course they are responsible. 110%. For them to even come out a couple days ago and say it was NOT their responsibility, is ludicrous.
