Preaching populism from the campaign stage, but naked hypocrisy in the "dark." Call them out.

[Gladiator]

Don’t forget in addition to personal vehicles, Ministers may have vehicles assigned to them by their respective Ministries which was also purchased at tax payers expense. Who you think is the biggest customer for a Prado in T&T? It’s the gov’t!

We have to be reasonable though, maximizing of the statutory exemptions was fully utilized by all governments before and current and that includes UNC too.

During pp time the car of choice was Range Rover only

Ministry official vehicles we can understand at least. They doing government business, and the vehicles belong to the people. Personal vehicles however? How that making sense? Do they do make that allowance in the UK?

This corruption seems to be the goal of politicians in developing countries.

Ministries don’t need prado to deliver documents tho

But... we like it so...

[scotty_buttons]

Lol. This going on a while now.

If these are really hard times, it’s only fair that government ministers forego at least some of these exemptions.

Lead by example!

[maj. tom]

We don't like it so in fact. The people are not given a choice in anything but casting a single vote every 5 years. After that, to hell with us, the government basically does what they want, consultation or not. Who here, or anywhere in Trinidad voted for politicians to abuse their power and rank so they don't have to pay taxes on luxury items? Who wrote those laws? Me? You? Who does bawl "Constitutional Reform" every elections and then only increase their own salaries and benefits for doing nothing for 5 years?

And it's not just PNM. UNC politicians like themselves when they're in Government too. But PNM does take with 2 hands and then kick yuh while yuh down too.

Remember to pay your property tax.

right now a 2017 used Aqua is about $8000 USD on the port in Japan.
so $100k TTD final price?

The mileage rollback is done in Japan btw on the port, not the local dealers. Though obviously the local dealers know what they're doing.

that's with the reintroduced tax? i saw ads on fb with about ~70k TT for the aqua

[Dizzy28]

Didn't see Rohan exemption above. 1.3m in taxes lost on one vehicle.....he is the real OG!!!

[agent007]

Papayo, the duty, mvt and VAT alone is approx. 57% of the final selling price. It means only 43% of said final price went to Sterling and we know Benz probably got 25% of that remainder 43 lol.

Didn't see Rohan exemption above. 1.3m in taxes lost on one vehicle.....he is the real OG!!!

How I know I poor. Even with the exemptions I still can't afford any of those vehicles (Maybe Terry Accord)

[Redress10]

Massa days done ent?

Just remember that even the Queen doesn't spend money like this.

Politicians in developed nations hardly ever drive. Farless care to purchase these sort of vehicles and they are more wealthier, educated and important than these clowns in charge here.

Independence is the biggest con job done to this country.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Allyuh should see the entire list and well the list from kamla dem days

[Kenjo]

Yeah tv6 had a report sometime in the last decade for everyone . I assume these exemptions there since forever. Does this include traveling officers exemptions might be out soon too

[pugboy]

Big up terry for buying cheaper vehicles

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Entire list...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[16 cycles]

even if you get a corbeau sweat as an MP, you still qualify for the exemptions?

[Redman]

Allyuh should see the entire list and well the list from kamla dem days

That was defended to the hilt...what changed?

Ministers have fleet vehicles.

In 2.1 years Rohan has a low mileage Maybach that he can sell that he paid half price for.

It’s chit now...and it was chit then

[screwbash]

god dont sleep, who want to feel they smart now and better than the rest ah we go pay the price eventually. look at the foreign used cars people, since 1995 when panday open the market all the cars they bring have under 30000km on them no matter what model or age. they fool thousands of people and take they money, and 25 years after karma ketch up to them. they basically dead cause no one will buy a 3 year old car for $150000 and a new one might be $180000 especially if a man paying thru the bank with a lil $2000 ah month an wait karma to ketch up to they children one day doh matter how much bbq they want to sell a con man is still a con man.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

That's at least 38mil in taxes....oh well

[88sins]
