Seven months after Government slashed Value Added Tax (VAT) on 7,000 food items, president of the Supermarkets Association of T&T (Satt) Vernon Persad has admitted that the benefits consumers enjoyed from this initiative have since been eroded.Co-ordinator of the Network of NGOs Hazel Brown feels the move was just a "fallacy decision made without thinking it through, except for the political impact on it."
Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment Vasant Bharath, whose ministry was responsible for the removal of VAT on the items, said if it were true that prices had increased, a lot of hard work and money would have gone down the drain.Bharath admitted that the matter was now a worrying concern.VAT was removed by the People's Partnership Government on November 15, 2012 in an effort to lower food prices and curb food-price inflation.
This move resulted in Government foregoing $400 million in revenue.On Tuesday, Persad said Satt had observed increases on a number of non VAT items over the past few months.Among them are snacks, curry, baby items, sugar, peas and beans, dairy products and juices–many of which we import, Persad said.There are 1,200 supermarkets in T&T.He blamed the increases on suppliers."A lot of the benefits of the VAT removal have been eroded."

Saw a vid with the apt jmaes doing donuts trying to make its way out thr channel.
Man fliming the vid say when it resch tobago thr people would be dizzy.
The sad thing this, we coudk see the bs store is and explanations. But to hear thr pnm troglobites push it as fine tuned well Tweaked ideas, u does wonder how some. People could be so Dotich.
So now u still ahve to dredge the channel. Or only sail when it's not low tide.

Did the unsubstantiated internet forum that you choose as your source for infallible information also tell you that the Galicia left because the channel wasn't dredged?
If it is one thing, you don't let facts hold back your beliefs.

This clown defends ANYTHING LFDRFD PNM.
Even in the thread where he frothed up about the APT James having zero defects, only to be shown up as a dummy once again. Oddly, I wasn't even criticizing the vessel
