Why not Increase Tax for Fireworks?

[Dragular]

What are your thoughts on this?

It's a nuisance now which is also hazardous to everyone and people abuse it..

Do you think that the government should increase tax for Fireworks company's and put more restrictions in place???

[pete]

Fully agree.

Because that would make sense and as we can all see PNM is not in the business of making sense

[ingalook]

Restrictions for sure... There should only be 3 or 4 days you could use these and within probably a 2 hr window

[novastar1]

I support this. This firework insanity must come to an end.

This is literally taking forex and BURNING it

[BRZ]

Omg! ZR Ent bawl out who bringing it and which party they financing? Well is now I can't believe it, ZR you slipping !

[j.o.e]

Doh tax it nah , just ban it, limit import , resale and use. No amount of tax will stop trinis from being inconsiderate assh01es

[pugboy]

Fireworks importers are big party financiers for both parties

[silent_riot]

^^^Agreed. People will always find a way to survive with taxes.
It's a case of how much you can squeeze from the population before they break or vote you out.
At the end of the day, a select few benefit from the parties in power, with the tax payers funding it.

If we tax fireworks expect a newly formed association of Fireworks Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FATT) where they would argue that they employ 10,000 ppl and have many other spin off industries. They will claim that if any taxes is brought on them thousands will be on the breadline and the many single mothers they employ will have a ripple effect socially. They would protest in front of parliament with expensive ready-made placards.

I still say tax them.

[BrotherHood]

Fully agree.
