Lloyd Stanbury and Patrick Roberts

[Sickko]

are on radio now, Radio Jamaica, explaining the Beenie man tax situation and imploring the entertainers to make sure they file their taxes...

I'm no fan of Beenie Man, but why did the tax administration allow his unpaid balance to reach 30 million?

[Sickko]

Patrick says it is a lie...check an earlier post I made today from the Star website

So what did they have to say about the "patty shop" forensic accounting conducted by the Government?

[Lazie]

Here is the problem. "We got back a letter immediately from them (M.O.F) indicating that they acknowledge the letter and the content and they need time to apprise themselves of the case, but in the meantime they would ask the Inland Revenue not to take any action against the artiste until they hear from them."

The new administration is serious about collecting taxes and Shaw had set a high bar for the Inland Revenue when it comes to tax collection. I recall Omar saying that the I.R. were doing their best and don't see how they can collect anymore.

I wonder how long ago was this letter received from the M.O.F.?

No man serious question. JLP or PNP it doesn't matter you can't assess tax based on how many people at a show and price of admission. If dem a charge BEENIE den dem haffi charge the promoters of the shows cause if the promoter cannot provide a contract with a performance fee he too is in breach. The government jus no waan do the forensic part dis cannot stand up in a court of law.

Well Patrick said the tax people were faulty in their assessment and they plan to prove this...Beenie will now be forced to come off his high horses and give Patrick a call and help in the process of sorting this mess out.

...then what do think is going to happen? The tax collectors shall cross-check returns and "wham".

They do that here in the good old USA...why not at home?
