The new Government has totally fooled all the citizens. Reduced VAT?? What a lie as they simply added 10% Tax to breadbasket items that severely hurt the marginal even more than the original VAT. There is an old saying & it certainly applies to Brave Davis Gov't "Liars figure & figures lie".
Why doesn't the Tribune block caroton61 from posting in comments section. It's obvious that vast majority of his Covid posts are 100% false & most likely made up by him/her simply to cause chaos & mis-information.
The Gov't is taking everyone for a ride. 10% on Breadbasket items will hurt the middle & lower income citizens. A very regressive tax that is going to be very painful for many. Liars figure & figures lie!
It is easy to understand Contractors concern, however, the cold hard truth is the change required & it is required, makes contracts totally useless to buyer. The result is, the contracted price most likely is just a fairy tale. So sad for all.
What a joke. $2.00 savings by a Tourist for every $100.00 spent by them! They won't even notice the savings, they will just remember the 10%. In addition ,the Gov't has taken every citizen for a ride with their smoke & mirrors move. Reduction of 2% on currently taxed items but 10% added to a multitude of bread basket items that formally had 0% tax. Just think about it.
