Ministers enjoy tax exemptions on cars

[Gladiator]

Didn't Rowley promise, the last time this was raised, to have this "perk" capped at a limit and for it to be a 2 time benefit instead of a limitless one.

The issue if people remember was Imbert chastising the public for draining Forex from the system by buying " too many cars".

Then bam Jusso, the files leak and when Max, Zoom and Habbit buying they lil aqua and wringroad wagon...them ministers bringing down multi million dollar rides and getting huge tax break on it too.

That is what riled up everybody. This was just a couple months ago...everybody forget....lard.

Why else you think hybrids and full electric subject to vat and duties , the general,public has to subsidize so that what YOU pay allows a big minister to get all duties OFF on their luxury cars.

an with that the TTPS were told no more SUV to buy AD Wagon, Versa, Aqua. only in TT yes. one vat and tax right off on a minister vehicle if they pay it can buy a few police vehicles. taxes very important. the govt implement the tax and then the very people exempt themselves from paying taxes.

Translation: No cabinet members had to "recuse" themselves for those vehicles to be bought so, we will do the process over until we get the supplier we want.

[PariaMan]

That's it. The people who make the decision to tax the hell out of new cars ensure that they exempted from paying any

This could only happen in a third world Banana Republic

And we are supposed to accept it and say that's the law

Well guess what slavery was once the law

Time to protests the government wastage? Y'all care enough? If Andrea Bharat taught us anything, it's that trinis enjoy a good protest lime.

[sam1978]

Stuarty bought a Benz SUV too. Would they have been changing so often if they paid the full price? They sell them after two years and make a profit .

I sure you knew of this guy, buy take a read if you didn't.

Swaziland King Mswati III has bought 120 BMWs for his 15 wives and 23 kids after earlier delivery of 19 Rolls-Royces. The latest fleet of 19 Rolls-Royces and 120 BMWs is worth $16.6 million or ₦6 billion.
The problem is that Mswati has 15 loved ones, 23 kids, and an overall very large family. Another problem is that, though he is one of the wealthiest monarchs in the world, with an estimated fortune of $213 million, the people he’s ruling over barely make $128 a month. You can see where this is going, surely.

Why doesn't the UNC kick up about this ? Damn hypocrites fed up of all of them on both sides..

Sycophants should be ashamed to even show their faces on this thread..

[ProtonPowder]

Lets say you make 10k a month. 36k above the income tax personal allowance so you pay 9k per year in income tax.

With every half million dollar exemption, you and 55 other taxpayers like you have signed a cheque for an entire year's income tax to be handed to a dealership to subsidise a politicians luxury SUV.

Finger pointing and 'well alyuh people does' have made politicians overall immune to criticism since idiot supporters can whatabout their way into a stalemate on any argument.

Trinidadian politics is the stuff of dreams for politicians.

[elec2020]

as I said before. All current politicians in T&T are a joke and don't give two farts about us. And as you rightfully state they get away with it cause we keep on fighting down each other with stupid sayings like well yours did it too. WHO CARES! Is this the type of government you want? One that just as bad as the other. Since when is it ok to accept mediocrity?
