I once saw, in a country where vat is charged, a sign in a shop:
with the receipt $85, without the receipt $70.

What is going to happen is an increase in street vendors and door to door vendors, which would not be subject to VAT. Selling anything from household goods to clothes to food.

And, there will be an increase in online orders and air couriers, as the shipping charges go up.

The air couriers offer a Miami address and take care of all customs duty.

Last year I stopoped patronizing a business where I would go regularly as it became cheaper to shop online.

That sounds like discrimination to me.
How about an interview with a salaried guy who does not want his costs increased?

THERE are no new taxes.

The extra you are paying is actually revenue enhancement.

Those can, do it
Those who can't teach
Those who can't teach, direct

Bad teachers usually go to die in the ministry of education, the medically insane are sent to testing and evaluation

This is just another parachute for inconvenient teachers and administrators or a venue for political appointees.

why cant they give 10% for paying on time and 2% off in arrears.

Mind, one time I was going to be out of town for 3 months and paid batelco in advance.

They disconnected me!!! I paid a penalty for paying in advance!!!!
