2012 Budget

[christopherwilliams2]

No new taxes. Arima and Laventille are pleased.

big up.

[AllTrac]

"Read my lips: NO. NEW. TAXES."

[civic minded]

the E-pay system is a good step foward as it eliminates the need to go to Government offices to pay taxes - why didnt they extend this to NiB?

[pioneer]

^^^one step at a time...it'll take years to remove the pnm fandanglery

[toyolink]

The Minister Of Finance as he has done on many previous occasions delivered a presentation that will result in many many questions on details.
Debate on the budget will now result in everybody on the other-side talking about -rhetoric only and no real measurable facts.
I for one got no clear or even misty view of the way forward and although I am certain the Minister knows what he is about,I am concerned that his true agenda will not be shared with anyone (not even his cabinet peers).In fact some decades ago under somewhat similar economic circumstances he was charged with doing the same thing.Actually his behaviour as I remember did in no little way contribute to the gov't of the day fortunes at the polls.
I only hope that the goodly gentleman doesn't believe we are too stupid to absorb a proper budget or worse yet believes he will get a passing grade by bluffing his way during the exam.
I wait to hear the presentation of the real budget via the up coming debate.Unfortunately,it will be puntuated with al kinds of nonesense from the otherside who will all of a sudden know how to manage the fiscal affairs of the country.
....DAMN SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T LEARN!

all this was part of the previous government plan...that's why hundreds of million has been and still being invested ....nothing new here.

heads up.

This cannot be done without creating a new Revenue Authority.. **cough** cough**

Here we go with the supporters of the previous government.

SAD, shut up if you dont have anything to say thats considered input

[Tile Expression Ltd.]

any money to be spent on a racing facility?

does not look so

"We will continue to maintain and improve the sporting infrastructure in our nation. In addition, three state-of-the-art mega sport facilities will be constructed in compliance with international standards – the national cycle track, the national aquatic centre and the national tennis centre."

yet another sad day in TNT..i mean we already have tennis, cycle and swimming facilities in trinidad..yet we have absolutely NO place for motorsport..i don't know if they think an empty car park is considered a facility.

Now there is no hope for motorsports...

Rofl! Anil REAL tie up allyuh head good

[Stephon.]

Anyone takes Keith Rowlhound seriously anymore?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Anyone takes Keith Rowlhound seriously anymore?

he has die hard supporters still inno and no I'm not 1

[civic minded]

honestly that is one of my major disappointment with this government in office - Anil Roberts promised and made so much damn Promises!! Yet no word on anything about any motorsport facility.

Gezz man if they dont want to finance it - there is tons of corporate companies that want to do it - at least subsidize a portion to start it off. Mention something that will apiece the thousands of people that are in this oppressed industry.

[TeamH2O]

mr roberts does be high on some shiet when he say them tings

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Anything on increasing the age of Foreign Used cars?

Vehicle Taxes etc?

[equipped2ripp]

^ but Cadiz already raised the age restrictions recently, what more you want?

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^ how much it is only 2 years? thats kinda sad.

The age restriction should be like 1997 cars and up.

[equipped2ripp]

^ how much it is only 2 years? thats kinda sad.

The age restriction should be like 1997 cars and up.

6 years, you can import 2005/2006 up.

Why would you want 14/15 year old junk on the road?

[SR]

^ how much it is only 2 years? thats kinda sad.

The age restriction should be like 1997 cars and up.

[Stephon.]

I LOVE THIS GOV'T, REALLY!

I approve of everything thing they do, why risk criticising, and be called a stinky PNM

When motorsport can get their house in order and not have tom, dick and harry fighting down everyone and want TOTAL control of everything motorsport, then they would be taken seriously....

Why invest in an multi-million dollar facility and then a big fight down by the "heads" of the sport......if they cant handle their own internal affairs, you really think they could run a facility. furthermore, do you think trinidadians are willing to spend $100 upwards to sit and look at racing?? People use to cuss to pay $20 to go wallerfield......




With that said, there is a feasibility study ongoing with various stakeholders, mainly private investors for a facility....I don't have more details on it....
