Happy Friday Grenadian ! A Grenadian with a new PNM card !

Everybody knows you need "Heavy T" to buy a Ford Ranger 2.2 and Ford Ranger 3.2

So you could not afford it ? Bank did not approve loan ? It is Friday drink some rum !

Oh and yes I am a poor hard working young Tiger. I see you highlighted the word "poor."
No shame to being poor . It humbles a person. Makes you work hard.

But I know one thing. Yes, I will continue with my agenda

The Property Tax is unfair.

The form the Gov't is asking you to sign is illegal.

Talk to your MP !

Axe the Tax .

You know that a 2.2 ranger needs a heavy but you can't read and comprehend simple written text? Priorities yes!

There is no shame in being poor but continuing to do so and reveling it in like you do is disgusting. Choosing to stay in poverty not only affects you but all those around you. Its downright irresponsible. If you not generating wealth then you an the people that think like you are the ones dragging this country down.
Poor people work hard ... The rich and the future rich work smart.

Anand Ramlogan is carrying the Gov't to court over the property tax, also a group of lawyers is doing the same thing in south. The south group has Avery Sinanan and Jagdeo Singh among them. They have given the gov't until the 18th to respond.

F***ing best news I hear today. These are the top attorneys - Our next Gov't !

Join us in Court "spanner man" !

Even if you wearing the rubber slippers and short pants

To All Tuners :

Property Tax Issues :

1. The Constitutional claim:

"the Government was simply motivated to collect as much money as it could by collecting property taxes as opposed to collecting the taxes according to law " { Guardian 13/5/2107}

2. The Legal Process claim:

"the courts review the implementation process of the controversial tax " { Guardian 13/5/2107}

"under the 2009 act, the deadline for the filing of any VRF (valuation return form) was April 1, 2010 .. "


The Property Tax is unfair and Illegal.

The VRF the Gov't is asking you to sign is illegal.

Talk to your MP !

To all Tuners

Read the following, and try best to understand :

" .... Ramlogan said it is clear that a step had been taken to send the notice, which is subject to the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court, “with the court able to quash the decision and declare it unlawful.”

In addition, he said because the Summary Offences Act establishes a limitation period of six months from the time the complaint was made, “it is not now possible to prosecute anyone who fails to make a return” by May 22.

In any event, he said with April 1, 2010 having come and gone, the only power the commissioner has is under Section 6(2) is to call upon the owner to file a return, failing which they may be liable to conviction under this section.

Ramlogan said “the Minister cannot simply bypass parliament and impose a new deadline without amending Section 6.” This, he said, “is a most serious violation of the most basic principles of constitutional law and has left our client with the indelible impression of arrogant dictatorship ... " { Guardian 13/5/2107 }

I want to know how much land the drug kingpin aboud had.

Also, will anyone riot when their land is seized at the end of the 5 years?

... " Earlier today, Valencia local government councillor Simone Gill advised residents that the demolitions conducted in a joint effort by members of the defence force and the police service, were done on the instruction of the Commisioner of State Lands.

Gill said "unoccupied structures" that were located on forest reserve were demolished. " { Guardian 15/5/2017}

Again Gov't wants to know where squatters are located.
Not for tax as in "property tax" but for eviction.

The Property Tax is unfair.

Government Land belongs to everybody.
That is why I use the work "technically own it "

If we had fair Gov't land distribution then you will not have squatters.

And if you own "private land" and you have squatters - well you really a bay rum alcoholic or smoking
Styro containers to allow that to happen.

Squatters in TT more smart than anybody .

Police Stations do not have "law book" they have squatters.

There are glorified HDC housing for free or dormitories for TTPS.

Which poor in this country oppressed? Free education up to a tertiary level, dirt cheap electricity and water, food card, Cepep wok, super easy to tax evade at a low level, easy to squat and take government land without any issues.

Rich and middle class have it hard. When man want to buy a new car with a 3.0 V6 and government keep sending MVT up, premium gas real expensive, People hadda start paying for tertiary education while the poor man get ah free pass, If yuh poor and squatting what property tax you hadda pay?

When it comes to land ownership the law doesn't view squatting as outright theft. Ever hear that possession is 9/10 of the law? Well squatters make use of something called "adverse possession" which in its simplest form gives a trespasser the right to own land provided that he/she can prove unchallenged use of it for a specified period of time (I think it's 18 years in Trinidad and Tobago).

And it's not just the squatters eh. Some "upstanding", "well to do", "hardworking", "educated", "tax paying" citizens does be involved in this chupidness as well. Anyone who constructs a fence thereby enclosing someone else's property as their own is trying to make use of this provision in the law.

In this case, the law is really an ass.

You are right in so many ways...i take back that statement...and i will stand corrected this government only want to oppressed the middle class in this country...

[RedVEVO]

You learning quick now Grenadian .

Middle class going towards low income class.

You destroy the middle class .. well is crime and havoc and mayhem.

If you notice the crime people are targeting the middle class because
they are the vulnerable ones.

And the rich who have left TT long long time getting richer e.g. TSTT/ Massy deal.

The Property Tax is aimed at the middle class. And low income class to a certain extent .

Axe the Tax

You trying to rationalize a criminal act. They technically own nothing. Until they have a certificate of comfort or acquired a deed through adverse possession (squatters rights), KICK DEY ASS OUT.

If squatters move on your private land with lights, water and directv, you would be singing a different tune.

The families are not going to die. You never hear a child dead because the commissioner kick the family out state lands. It have many trinidadians who were homeless, got a job, paid rent, acquired a piece of land LEGALLY and built a simple house. Yes it is not easy, but it takes perseverance.
