The Nation Welcomes …No New Taxes

[Assasin]

Well stop been a yesman and talk your talk. You don't believe the hub will come off the ground and you feel NHT will be badly affected.

Why not ask your leaders questions instead of trying to quiet people who are asking questions?

The Finance Minister is facing more criticism for his declaration in parliament yesterday that no new taxes are being imposed to finance the 2013/2014 budget.

Financial Analyst, Ralston Hyman says the statement is misleading and will only serve to erode confidence in the policies of the government.

Hyman notes that several taxes were introduced on April 1 when the financial year started and, therefore, Phillips cannot say there are no new taxes just because the budget was presented on April 18.

The opposition spokesman on finance has also accused the finance minister of attempting to hoodwink Jamaicans when he said that there will be no new taxes.

Shaw said the finance minister is being disingenuous given that most of the measures in the $15.9-billion tax package announced in February took effect this month.
