Because they do not want to win the next election.
In Trinidad food prices are out of control and they were forced to make food zero-rated.
Here, i have heard no talk if duty-free food items will be vat-free.
Sadly, only the few who post here even care to talk about VAT.
I asked a junior customs officer at the airport about VAT 3 days ago,-- he said he never heard of it.

He should resign and take a rest and enjoy life a little bit.

it is a stressful thing to go around apologizing.

This sentence is non-sensical. These deductions come out of theearnings of the civil service.
To cut public spending should be to cut the spending of the Government.

Wait, wait, is the government buying cars and refrigerators for the civil servants?

Perhaps, as is advertised on the radio:

***You don't have to have money, all you have to have is salary to deduct.***

Naive to think that.
Insurance is the only business that never loses money, whatever they pay out in premium for this year's hurricane, they collect next year in higher premiums.
Same applies to motorists.
There is no question that we will pick 100% of VAt just like now we pick up 100% of Customs duty.

The MOE publishes reports with these statistics, It is online somewhere-- not up to the BUT.
However, it is a mistake to require "certificates', because all over the world, the graduates of the School of education have the lowest GPA in a given College or university.

All people do in the School of education is cut paper and glue it to the wall, and the MOE only hires people with certificate for over 25 years, and the education system is in shambles.

the problem is, if one has a teaching certificate, that only qualifies them to teach that for which they were certified. Once in the school system, they assign the PE teacher to teach Math and the Commerce teacher to teach English.

the accounts teacher needs a degree in accounting to teach, the home Ec teacher needs a degree to teach.

But not math and english, the school system believes anyone with a pulse can teach these subjects. that is a major problem in the system and no one talks about it.

From the time the shares in this company were offered, I smelled a rat.
I would never buy shares in any local company.
How many other investments like that, let me count the ways....
The investor's money is just to buy house in lyford cay, then they don't invite me to the party.
