What is stopping Barbadian companies from investing abroad? WiV~I know that you are aware that the Barbados dollar is stronger against TT dollar and most Caribbean islands.

For years we have opaid through the noses for our food, and it (in my opinion) is price gouging. Now we fight the enemy, united as Bajans; rather than a cancer of Barbados. Then again, Trini money just as good to buy the politician, so we have to set up the measures, the integrity, the price controls, the corruption law, the integrity law, to deal with this multi-headed monster.

So one would have expected prices to fall by a good 25% or so. In fact prices went up? No explaining the food providers. Maybe we are better in T&T merged form, so we can fight something that is not ouselves in other ways? And to top it off, the 15% VAT replaced 60% duties.

The reference to the 8 % cut was basically to state that at least we knew it had a given period of operation and it would dissappear at the end of the appointed period, whereas we are now facing the real likelyhood that VAT will maybe go to 17 1/2 % to cover their wastage at the jail, the flyovers, the airport, the Carnival Destruction, the closing ceremony, the CWC in general. And not knowing who the rightful owners of oval are, the ticket sales may well be deposited with the WICB charming just flipping charming Owing, Mottley, Lynch take a bow not only are you a corrupt lot, not only are you dishonest as ever you are also the most ingnorant bunch of clowns ever gather in the house of assembly!!!! sad but true.

As far as we are aware the VAT represents a composite of taxes which were replaced with the lower VAT. Is this not your understanding?
