Unbelievable
DEAR EDITOR,
I’ve been going to some political campaign meetings over the past weeks and have heard mention by opposition spokespersons of the massive increases in taxes by this Government, which seemed UNBELIEVABLE.
The increase in taxes, naturally, has resulted in additional billions of dollars in revenues.
I have, personally experienced a few of these unconscionable impositions.
Someone stole from my vehicle my vehicle revenue Licence, which I only discovered when stopped by a traffic officer (which has another “story” altogether, and which I would not taint with this one).
Yesterday, I went to Guyana Revenue Authority to obtain a replacement and Lo and Behold, was told that I had to pay SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, for a COPY of the LICENCE, the EXACT same cost of the original, previously issued.
Now, it would be interesting if ANYWHERE else in the world, a replacement of a Government issued document is the same cost as the original.
I am certain that the same applies for other replacement documents.
Hopefully, these and similar unconscionable increases, affecting the entire population, including pensioners and young people, would be addressed after March.
Regards,
Harry N Nawbatt
