[scotty_buttons]

I still shocked premium users paying more than $2 a liter than the unsubsidized price

That is for driving luxury cars.

[scotty_buttons]

Removal of all tax for hybrid, cng and electric vehicle import.

[matix]

[zoom rader]

That is when they don't do geography in school.

If the PP was in Power, would it not have been the same?

How much was diesel before? I know super was 3.11

[Slartibartfast]

Diesel was about 1.70 I think.

[pete]

It was 1.725 a 15% increase from 1.50

Increased 50c in total so far. Still another $1 to go.

[zoom rader]

Raj going to charge you more for a load of grave or sand now.

Hardwares will probably add a new fee to drop blocks at your home now. All that used to be free at some hardwares

[advocate]

And this is what we voted for! Take dat!

[cherrypopper]

So if I am correct it said 7 percent on goods that is not taxed which would shine on tax exempted goods within current time frame?

[BRZ]

15% increase in diesel, well merely gonna pay about $12 per tank more but still I getting over 400kms with that, not really bothered by it.

That's just the thing, most people will mumble and grumble but will eventually accept the increase, BUT unscrupulous price gouging facks will use it as an excuse to raise prices disproportionately and therein lies the quandary that we will face.

[X_Factor]

^ exactly
fuel gone up by 15% u think the taxi driver gonna charge $5.75?
vat was reduced......but was anyone able to benefit from that reduction in terms of food and basic living items?
a pack of breeze was 90$ in pmart before the vat went down......now its 115$ lol
not to mention most other items as well

i actually surprised the taxi driver where i live didnt raise it ....as yet for today.

a few yrs ago wen super moved from $2.70 a liter they raised fares by $1...keep in mind every taxi driver (except one car) was diesel....

[Slartibartfast]

I coining the term "rachet effect" as in tax variations have a rachet effect on infalation cuz prices only move in one direction.

No to be confused with the "raquet effect" whereby uneducated idiots end up running entire ministries thanks to all the raquet they were involved in in the past.

[skylinechild]

i await different taxi driver associations to raise price now....and for the next budget review

now to be 100% honest i have NO problem with the govt removing the fuel subsidy however at the same time you cannot say gas gone up and if you cannot afford to drive....travel......when there is no mass transit system in place.

PTSC ....failure....

also as a economic measure shouldnt govt ministers feel the brunt of it..with the avg person on the street....no more exempted taxes on vehicles..no more travelling allowances if you buy a car no more housing allowance if you have a house......

i am sure if they cut some of these "luxuries" from the ministers you'd see how much $$$ we save.

Sense but will NEVER happen. Look in fact for MP salary raises sometime this year.

I always believed that one should lead by example, so what taxes are the ministers paying?

Govt made a resolution that they won't access the parliamentary loan to buy any personal vehicle over 1999cc. They'll pay the full price.

The PNM MPs get tax free vehicles , increase pay, housing, kick backs and you have to tighten ur belt

Wow, they will just go the banks and get preferred intrest rates and tax free.

Plus they will license their Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne as "T" to get away from MVT

Where is Abubakar?

I was disappointed to hear there won't be any Rapid Rail, the reason for this is because it was promised that the money from the fuel subsidy would be channeled into the rail for reliable public transport. Now that they are removing the fuel subsidy and replacing it with no means of reliable public transport they basically facked everyone in this country sideways. Notice how every single red and ready person is dead silent now? They lied about the rail, notice imbert said if oil crosses $100 a barrel then he would be willing to have "discussions" about a rail. His tone has changed its a hint that doh bother asking for that again.

Put up with broken down PTSC or pay full price for fuel, some of you aren't bothered by it but wait till oil price start to go back up and you will see just how you will become bothered. I am in support of removing the fuel subsidy but this is because we were promised a reliable public transport, that is not happening again so now where are we? I will tell you, we are neck deep up sh!t creek with our mouths wide open as Abraham said to Eugene.
