did you hear about the extra gas tax that was announced yesterday?

Inflation will be the next big ticket item.

yep came in late yesterday $3.50 on 87,90 and diesel that is like a 3
percent increase on the current price.
==============================

our debt grows with the devaluation as well

we need a tax package that stimulates growth but we reversed the
transfer tax decreases which was done to try to stimulate the real
estate industry, the dividend tax was removed to stimulate the stock
market has now been reversed.

It not that is was annonced, it was "clarrified". It is in the 15.9 dollar package. This year inflation going to be big with the dollar dropped and still dropping, increase in custom fees, and bus fare hike around the corner. Not looking good at all. Cement price also just increased.

Wage freeze is on. Salaries will not increase .... Does that make a difference?

[Bricktop]

Salaries are actually decreasing...by the flipping day...

[Bricktop]

Remember when Jawge did mix up litres and gallons and seh gas cheap in Jamaica...how me fi know what you know

[Assasin]

I bet you by the next budget, salaries will depreciate in real terms by more than 15%.

With the rise in custom fees and most goods in Ja come through customs(I kinda support that still)

With the rise in gas

The rise in bus fare
Depreciation of the dollar
Light bill
Property tax rise
plus others.

The reality is striking and anybody can bury their head in the sand but it is the reality

[Willi]

Exile, with all due respect...your retort started it.

$32 a gallon is USD 30c increase. Even in America, that is a big jump one time. Gas jump up 12c here this week and mi ah bringle!
