Maybe the UN should be concerned with the mass violation of human rights and the nerumberge code violations regarding medical experimentation on people.
Don't register, boycott them. First of all it is not mandatory to register or collect VAT if earing under 100,000 dollars. Secondly If the government collects VAT on the rental itself then the owners are VAT registrants. Can the owner then claim back the VAT on all their expense, power bills etc. like other business that have to collect VAT? It cannot be both ways. What about all the concessions hotels get? Will the rental properties be entitled to those?
Not that I think the government needs more money to squander but, why is a poorer person making 300 dollars a week paying 3.9% of their salary and someone making 1000 dolllars a week only paying 2.9% of their income to NIB? Even if you wanted to protect employers from having to pay the 5.9% over the $740 per week cap (make them not pay or pay a reduce %) richer persons should not be paying a lesser percentage of their weekly pay to NIB than a poorer person.
This is just a bad idea. I rarely use cheques still in my business but, there are times it is necessary. I have one vendor who no matter I have tried seems not be able to send receive a transfer payment from my company. There are instances where cheques are still very useful tools and to eliminate them for what reason I do not know. Do not even get me started on the penny, by my estimates the penny thing costs my business about 1,200 dollars per year in productivity. Times that by how many thousands of business in this country and were talking millions of dollars in GDP productivity damage. These people live in lala land and come up with these stupid ideas to make themselves seem important and modern.
The writer states in one line people are killing them to eat and in another line says people are killing them for sport. So which is it? Humans hunting animals to eat is not sport. When did it become ok to hunt and eat fish? Hunt and eat pigeons, wild pigs etc? This has been ok since humans have been living on this planet. Do you kill rodents living in your house, ants, bugs? Get a reality check and stop letting emotions drive your actions and desire to enforce your emotions on other people. Grow up.
