Cut it all.

Can we say that we have a more educated society because of gate? We have definitely become more certified but educated...nope

Help those who really need it.

Do golfers really need subsidised golfing?


N ya gov't want to own hotels and resorts? A golf course is no different. Im sure you and ya madame like to go Hyatt and Hilton from time to time. Taxpayers money maintaining that. Complain about that too. Don't just single out golf courses.

Utt money is all the money UWI get from the government and all the money sent to overseas uniersities and still being sent to overseas universities to pay for international scholarships. That is where UTT money is. Not a golf course.

Every legal citizen are stake holders of TT and I don't care if you earn 2000 or 200k once you pay taxes it is your right to get your returns.

What should qualify a person or his offspring to benifit from what's due to them is if they paid their correct amount of taxes.

The upper earners cannot be burdened with paying taxes and no seeing a return.

What the hell a guy paid his taxes and gets told he does not qualify.

Just now you will say you can't have a certain amount to get your NIS Pension ever if you contributed for 40 years.

Tertiary education expenses can also be used for tax deductions. So they can deduct this expense.

I wonder how you consider the household income for persons over 18. If they're a dependent they have to pay but if they're employed, living on their own and earn under $10k/month they don't have to pay anything?

Zoom what are you braying about now, the only thing sure in life is death and taxes , who said you had to get returns from your taxes, your taxes help pay for your free medical health care albeit not the best but no direct cost to you, it funds education for the thousands of primary and secondary school education again no direct cost to you....it funds the public service albeit not efficient but it still cheaper than if these entities were privatized

Your concept of taxes are off.
In the England you pay as you earn and up to 50% in taxes.

Everyone get free education up to A levels or BTEC and then you have to apply for a student loan for uni.

The only qualification you need is to be a legal resident for your last 3 years.

In Scotland, once you are full Scot it's almost free £1000, while in England it's £9000 a year. This why Scots prefer to remain in the UK , they get more benifits. No sure about Wales. They even get paid to attend school.

Why pay taxes in a county and get told you dont qualify when you pay more than the agv person.

Not true in Cayman islands, Bermuda, British virgin islands you pay no income taxes.

Pre 1962 you also paid no income taxes in TT.

So if Trinidad decides to stop income tax how will we generate funds to replace the shortfall ? Pre 1962 we didn't have free education, we didn't have a huge national security team to pay police prisons coast guard etc, nurses , doctors, look at the public service wage monthly wage bill it is billions per month....come on man

That's a different matter, I was referring to your statement that we have to die and pay taxes only.

You have to die but you don't have to pay taxes .

It might have something to do with them being able to afford it -vs us who cant.

And as ZR said we need to keep funding everyone-even those that dont need it

Taxes are an investment.

Do we need an empty building ?

Why have all these government buildings and we still have to rent elsewhere to party hacks

Immigration dept in San Do is rented and lenny Saith collects his rent.

Agreed 100%. No funds for carnival or religious bodies. Oy carnival spending should be for "marketing" the festival as part of our tourism product. Alluh know how much taxpayers money is spent purchasing fete tickets for companies etc. Madness

Yah can't expand gate like that. You have to cut it because you want it to become self sufficient. So in the case of loan. Loan payments go towards funding the next batch of students and so on.
