I look forward to budgets as much as look forward to hitting my little toe with a sledgehammer.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Econameee would tun rong next year...this year is to tighten yuh belly again

[Les Bain]

Waiting to see PNM do what they warned Kamla would have done.

2024-2025 is election budget so if they want to do anything adverse in this budget, they will have to do it now.

Imbert already talking about online shopping with respect to the forex shortage so I would not be surprised he already decided to increase this tax and have "talks with stakeholders" after the fact.

[VexXx Dogg]

[pugboy]

tax the hell out of the middle class

[zoom rader]

tax the hell out of the middle class

It's the same middle class that will secure a red mis government victory

Same middle class that buy out carnival costumes

[MaxPower]

I look forward to budgets as much as look forward to hitting my little toe with a sledgehammer.

I think all Trinis should look forward to it…they should even be given a holiday to add to the UNproductivity.

Take in the budget in a bar or during discussions for Carnival 2024…and after the result, remain in the bar and continue discussions for Carnival.

The Govt KNOWS the priority of the average Trini

[Cantmis]

Awaiting the commentators after the budget

[death365]

But wait ah minute ... Weren’t we promised that the REVENUE AUTHORITY was to be started in this financial year.

[Dave]

Got delayed.

If they are so adamant about USD then bring back the negative list.

anybody ever notice Rowley does never talk about the future. When you listen to him, is always something about the past or more often buffing up people about what happening. You never see Rowley giving a speech or talking for a whole hour or so about what Trinidad to look like 10 years from now, 20 years from now. Is always a kinda short-sighted, backward looking speech he does give.

[AlphaMan]

No election goodies..
Move along

Look out for Floating gas prices based on world market rates.

Red mis government plans to suffer gas users to switch and spend money on battery karts.

[ItzRyan]

Past and present governments have done little to nothing to diversify our economy. What will happen when our oil and gas reserves are depleted? which is expected to happen in the near future.

The rich will be fine, why you worried

Is like saying ..'the human race will survive'

Considering the world is trying to move away from oil and gas, drop in demand and price might faster cripple us

Backward speeches for backward people.

Trinis deserve what they voted for.

Gas in TT is nearly as expensive as the US.

In the US it's $3.90 a gallon which is approx TT $27

Price of Premium is TT $7.75 a liter which is approx TT $29 per gallon

[Alpha_2nr]

Why all the fuss about the budget?

We are a very poor country, and the govt will take steps to maximise our value for $ in this coming budget.

You do realize that there is currently no OPT for shipments by way of sea, right?

If you can wait a few more weeks you can save some cash.
