Fuelled by corporate taxes, tax collection grows by 12.5%

While the 2022 mid-year report shows that tax revenue collections grew by 12.5 per cent largely due to corporate tax collections, the corresponding decline in Value Added Tax (VAT) and excise tax reflects Government efforts to cushion consumers from inflation.

According to the report, internal revenue collections were recorded at $88.6 billion. The growth in internal revenue collections, the report notes, was fuelled mainly by higher collection of corporate tax from private companies including those within the oil and gas sector.

Taxes were also collected from financial institutions, retail sale, beverages, and the telecommunications sector. Additionally, both withholding and personal income tax collections increased mainly on account of the oil and gas sector. The report notes that withholding tax collections were $22.8 billion, while personal income taxes collections amounted to $26.8 billion.

Another area that showed increases was customs and trade collections, which increased by $1.1 billion to $13.4 billion in the first half of the year. The higher collections, according to the report, were primarily due to an increase of import duties of $807.6 million and environmental levy of $154.3 million.

These stats, however, are in sharp contrast to VAT and excise tax collections, which the report notes declined by $6.9 billion to $43.2 billion, when compared with the corresponding period in 2021.

“Over the review period, VAT from imported goods and services reduced by $1.4 billion, reflecting the impact of implemented budget measures, while VAT from domestic supply grew by $2.2 billion. Excise tax collections declined by $7.8 billion to $15 billion during the first half of 2022.”

“This was primarily from reduced collections of $7.4 billion from imported petroleum products, which resulted from the policy measure to further reduce the excise tax rate to zero. This was implemented in an effort to cushion the effects of the rising fuel price due to the war in Ukraine and related geopolitical tensions,” the mid-year report states.

The rise in food prices across the world was largely influenced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year. However, back in May the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations had reported a decline in some world food commodity prices, after costs soared in the earlier weeks of the year.

International wheat prices were strongly affected by continued blockage of ports in Ukraine, concerns over crop conditions in the United States of America, larger shipments from India and higher-than-expected exports from the Russian Federation. This increased by 0.2 per cent.

International rice prices increased by 2.3 per cent from their March levels, buoyed by strong demand from China and the Near East. Meanwhile, the Sugar Price Index increased by 3.3 per cent due to higher ethanol prices and concerns over the slow start of the 2022 harvest in Brazil, the world’s largest sugar exporter.

FAO had meanwhile predicted that global wheat production would grow in 2022, to 782 million tonnes. That forecast incorporates an expected 20 per cent decline in harvested area in Ukraine as well as drought-driven output declines in Morocco.

When the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government presented the $383.1 billion 2021 budget, themed “A Path to Recovery, Economic Dynamism and Resilience”, it had announced a number of sweeping relief measures.

Minister of Finance, Dr Ashni Singh had announced the removal of VAT from a slew of food items and household necessities to alleviate the burden on taxpayers. It was also announced that the Government would restore to the zero-rated status all of the food items and other basic household necessities that were previously zero-rated in 2015 before the last PPP/C regime demitted office.

These items include basic wheaten flour, basic breads, oats, unflavoured cracker biscuits, cooking oil, locally produced bed sheets and pillowcases, toothbrushes, etc. This, he had noted, is in fulfilment of another one of the PPP/C’s manifesto promises.

Oral arguments into challenge of quarry operations set for Sept 28

Oral arguments in BK Quarries Incorporated’s challenge to Hadi’s World – a company owned by prominent businessman Nazar “Shell” Mohamed – being granted four quarrying licences, have been set for September 28 before Demerara High Court Judge Gino Persaud.

BK Quarries is contesting a decision by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) to grant the quarrying licences to the company, which, in addition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are listed as the respondents in its judicial review application filed in June.

In initial filings, BK Quarries had also named GGMC’s Commissioner Newell Dennison as a respondent.

However, the Commissioner of GGMC applied to be removed as a party to the proceedings.Justice Persaud granted the application on the ground that there was “no cause of action disclosed against him”.

As such, he has been deleted from the proceedings and BK was ordered to pay him $250,000 in costs on or before September 20.

Further, BK Quarries had filed an application for the GGMC to disclose several documents, including documents submitted to it by Hadi’s World in its quarry licence applications.

That application, was, however, denied by Justice Persaud who held that “[BK Quarries] has not demonstrated any exceptional circumstances to justify the disclosures sought”.

According to the Judge, “the application for disclosure seems to be an attempt to obtain as much information as possible to unpick GGMC’s decision and seems to be a fishing expedition”.

“[BK Quarries] has come to court to challenge GGMC and is required to prove its case based on the information in its possession not on what it hopes to acquire through an application for disclosure within a Fixed Date Application,” said the Judge in his ruling. With the dismissal of the application, BK Quarries has to pay an additional $150,000 in costs to GGMC.

In its application for judicial review, BK Quarries through its lawyer Siand Dhurjon, complained that despite raising several objections, the GGMC and EPA went ahead with the granting of the licences to Hadi’s World which has no expertise in the quarrying industry.

Among other things, the company is seeking an injunction to prevent Hadi’s World from occupying or taking any steps to develop 16,500 acres of land recently awarded by the GGMC as four quarrying licences.

Dhurjon said that BK Quarries applied for a quarrying licence for an area in Iteballi, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) in August 2018 and is still awaiting a response regarding its application.

Hadi’s World, BK Quarries said, only applied for its quarrying licence in December 2020.BK Quarries contends that the EPA illegally waived the requirement for Hadi’s World to be subjected to performing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of four quarrying operations for the reason that the operations “would not significantly impact the environment”.

“This decision to award a company which does not own even a single crusher, 16,502 acres of land for quarrying was made although BK Quarries had applied for a quarry licence since August 16, 2018, for a portion of the same area. BK Quarries Inc. was issued a prospecting licence for the said portion in 2014, a licence which remains in force up to today,” BK Quarries said.

BK Quarries’ legal documents outline that the Commissioner of GGMC had written to its owner, Brian Tiwarie, in December 2019 stating that his application for the quarry licence at Iteballi was being processed. It said it was even informed by GGMC that the area the company had applied for was “a considerable expanse of land” and that it would be required to reduce the acreage being sought.

The said acreage was reduced by 50 per cent — from 9364 acres to 4680 acres, Dhurjon said, adding that on January 20, 2021, GGMC informed his client that all quarry licences extant and otherwise are to be reviewed by the GGMC’s Board of Directors.

According to counsel, on February 6, 2021, as published in the Official Gazette, BK Quarries observed that GGMC had published a notice of intention to grant four quarry licences to Hadi’s World of Lot 29 Lombard Street, Georgetown, over the areas which were covered by its [BK Quarries] prospective licences and 2018 quarry licence application.

The company said that it immediately protested the GGMC’s decision as unfair, unlawful, and unacceptable, and through its lawyers, sent several letters to the GGMC that went unanswered. The lawyer submitted that on February 18, 2021, several of GGMC’s Board members pointed out that the applications by Hadi’s World, which were still before the Board for consideration, had already been approved unilaterally by Dennison.

Dhurjon contended that it baffles the mind that the EPA would waive the requirement for an EIA for the issuance of four contiguous quarry licences that cover a stunning 16,502 acres. “This is an area that is five times the size of the capital city of Georgetown and almost four times the 4500 acres that were approved for BK Quarries Inc in the same place.”

According to Dhurjon, on June 15, 2021, Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat hosted a ceremony for the signing of the four quarry licences along with related EPA permits which were personally handed over by the Minister to Mohamed.

As such, BK Quarries complained that it did not benefit from equality of treatment under the law by State agencies in breach of the Constitution since the GGMC had “a serious” concern that it “could not actually use and occupy some 9,000 acres for quarrying operations whereas the GGMC has licensed Hadi’s World Inc to use over 16,500 acres for quarrying operations.”

“This is in spite of the fact that Hadi’s World told the Government entities that its quarrying operations would only utilise less than 1000 acres combined across the four licenses covering the 16,500 acres of lands given to them for quarrying operations,” the lawyer argued.

Dhurjon also alleged that the Board of the GGMC was biased in its decision.

Considering this, Dhurjon is asking the court to grant an order of mandamus to compel the GGMC to take all steps necessary to see to the 2018 application by BK Quarries for a quarry licence over the area of 9364 acres designated by the GGMC.

Contractors told to redo substandard road works in Region Six

Regional Vice Chairman Zamal Hussain, who heads the Regional Works Committee, inspecting road work on the Corentyne

The Works Committee of Region Six was forced to ask contractors to redo road repairs in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

This was revealed by Regional Vice Chairman Zamal Hussain. He was at the time addressing the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) at their monthly statutory meeting on Thursday.

“We are asking contractors to ensure that they do their work properly because we went very hard on some of the contractors – myself and the engineer,” Hussain said as he presented the Regional Works Committee report.

He told the RDC that some of the roads checked by the Works Committee were not done to the expected standard.

“We asked them to redo it. There is one road in Liverpool where we only had money to do a certain part but we were asked to do the entire street and are doing that with the help of the Ministry of Public Works.”

Hussain pointed out that all works are being monitored as he called on all Regional Councillors to also monitor all of the projects taking place within the region.

Meanwhile, work is expected to commence shortly on the repairs to 268 roads in the region. The tenders closed on Wednesday.

“That would bring the figure to well over 400 roads to be repaired in that region this year,” Hussain said.

“This is a record, something that had never been achieved in this region before.”

According to the Vice Chairman, who also heads the Works Committee, canal maintenance is continuing and the quality of work has improved but there are still some problems with some of the work being done in the region.

The Vice Chairman took the opportunity to thank the Regional Executive Officer and the Works Committee for works done to the standard needed for the reopening of schools today.

He pointed out that they were able to get assistance from Government part-time workers who are employed under a 10-day per month work programme earning $40,000 monthly. The programme was implemented by President Dr Irfaan Ali.

According to Hussain, there were some challenges getting Vryman’s Erven Secondary ready in time for the reopening of school. Nevertheless, he assured the RDC that it would be ready for students to enter the classroom this morning.

Les Chiliens rejettent le projet de nouvelle Constitution Guyaweb, site d’information et d’investigation en Guyane

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guyaweb

Un refus clairement affirmé lors du référendum ce dimanche 4 septembre.

Le projet de Constitution très progressiste rejeté par 62 % des suffrages exprimés prévoyait la création de nombreux droits sociaux et culturels ainsi que l’instauration de nouvelles modalités de démocratie directe, une large décentralisation et la suppression du Sénat.

Le texte avait été rédigé par une Convention constituante élue en juin 2021 à la suite du référendum d’octobre 2020 au cours duquel près de 80 % des suffrages s’étaient exprimés en faveur du « oui » au changement de Constitution.

Cette Convention constituante était dominée par les partis de gauche et des personnalités indépendantes issues de la mobilisation populaire massive d’octobre 2019 durant laquelle des millions de membres des classes moyennes et populaires avaient exigé des réformes profondes.

Le projet de nouvelle Constitution finalisé le 4 juillet dernier a fait l’objet d’intenses débats et de critiques virulentes de la part des formations politiques de droite mais aussi de larges secteurs de l’opinion publique, portant notamment sur le caractère « plurinational » de la République chilienne.

Le rejet de ce projet exprimé ce dimanche par une large majorité de Chiliens affaiblit le jeune (36 ans) président Gabriel Boric élu en novembre 2021 et entré en fonctions il y a six mois, engagé dans le mouvement social de 2019 et partisan de l’approbation de la nouvelle Constitution.

Gabriel Boric (photo de Une) souhaite engager des discussions avec les différentes forces politiques afin de définir les modalités et le calendrier d’un « nouveau processus constitutionnel », correspondant à la volonté de changement nettement exprimée lors du référendum d’octobre 2020.

Le Chili entre toutefois dans une période de grande incertitude, notamment parce que certains acteurs politiques préfèreraient conserver et réformer par voie parlementaire la Constitution actuelle promulgué en 1980 par le régime militaire d’Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990).

Ouverture du procès de l’attentat de Nice devant la cour d’assises spéciale de Paris

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

Le procès de l’attentat de Nice s’est ouvert lundi après-midi à Paris, un peu plus de six ans après la course meurtrière du camion conduit par Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel dans la foule venue assister au feu d’artifice du 14 juillet 2016 sur la Promenade des Anglais.

L’audience de la cour d’assises spéciale, présidée par le juge Laurent Raviot, a débuté dans une salle remplie aux trois quarts.

Très formelle, cette première audience a débuté par la vérification de l’identité des huit accusés, puis sera entièrement consacrée à l’actualisation des constitutions de partie civile. Elles étaient d’ores et déjà 865 avant le procès.

Seuls sept accusés étaient présents dans la salle d’audience. Le huitième, Brahim Tritrou, actuellement détenu en Tunisie, sera “jugé par défaut”, a indiqué M. Raviot, en précisant qu’il avait rédigé une demande d’entraide pénale internationale aux autorités judiciaires tunisiennes mais qu’il n’avait reçu aucune réponse de leur part.

Parmi les accusés, trois d’entre eux – Ramzi Arefa, Chokri Chafroud et Artan Henaj – comparaissent dans le box car détenus, dont un (Artan Henaj) dans le cadre d’une autre affaire.

Les quatre autres – Maksim Celaj, Endri Elezi, Mohamed Ghraieb et Enkeledja Zace – ont été placés sous contrôle judiciaire et se sont présentés libres devant la cour.

Alors que le président rappelait aux accusés leur droit au silence, Endri Elezi, jugé pour trafic d’armes, demande au président: “C’est quoi le mieux ? Garder le silence ou parler ?” “Voyez avec votre avocat”, lui répond le président sans s’émouvoir.

Au total, 86 personnes ont perdu la vie et plus de 450 autres ont été blessées dans l’attaque du 14 juillet 2016, revendiquée par le groupe Etat islamique (EI). Il s’agit de l’attentat le plus meurtrier commis sur le sol français après les attaques du 13 novembre 2015 contre le Stade de France, le Bataclan et les terrasses parisiennes.

L’assaillant, tué par la police le soir de l’attentat, est le grand absent du procès, retransmis en direct dans une salle du palais des congrès de Nice.

Par rapport au procès du 13-Novembre, les mesures de sécurité ont été sensiblement allégées aux abords du Palais de justice de Paris, même si les contrôles restent cependant stricts pour accéder à la salle d’audience.

A Nice, où l’audience est retransmise dans une salle spécialement aménagée, seule une poignée de parties civiles s’étaient déplacées lundi, selon un journaliste de l’AFP.

“Ca fait six ans qu’on attend, le procès pour nous va être très dur, mais c’est important de pouvoir s’exprimer sur ce qu’on a vécu dans un premier temps, que tout le monde puisse ressentir le drame qu’on a dû vivre”, a témoigné Seloua Mensi, qui a perdu sa sœur dans l’attentat.

– Pas fiché –

Le procès doit se dérouler jusqu’au 16 décembre.

Les premières paroles des accusés sont attendues mardi.

Trois accusés seulement (Ramzi Kevin Arefa, Chokri Chafroud et Mohamed Ghraieb) sont poursuivis pour association de malfaiteurs terroriste. En état de récidive légale, le premier encourt la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité, les deux autres une peine de vingt ans de prison.

Pour l’accusation, ils auraient “apporté leur concours à la préparation” de l’attentat commis par Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel. Ce Tunisien de 31 ans, chauffeur-livreur au caractère instable, était plus connu avant les faits pour des actes de violence, notamment contre son épouse, que pour sa proximité avec la mouvance jihadiste.

Aucun des accusés n’est poursuivi pour complicité d’assassinats ou tentative d’assassinats en bande organisée. L’enquête n’a pas permis de déterminer s’ils étaient au courant du projet d’attentat.

L’accusation a toutefois souligné leur “très grande proximité” avec Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel et estimé qu’ils étaient “pleinement conscients” de son adhésion “à l’idéologie du jihad armé” et de “sa fascination pour les passages à l’acte violents”.

Selon le dossier d’accusation, ce n’est qu’une dizaine de jours avant l’attentat que le Tunisien a montré des signes de radicalisation, même s’il “s’était inscrit dans une démarche idéologique d’inspiration jihadiste plusieurs mois avant”.

Il n’était pas fiché pour radicalisation par les services de renseignement.

Si le groupe EI a revendiqué l’attentat, l’enquête n’a pu établir aucun lien direct entre Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel et l’organisation jihadiste. Cette revendication “paraît être davantage (…) de pure opportunité”, conclut-elle.

Les cinq autres accusés sont poursuivis pour des délits de droit commun – association de malfaiteurs et infractions à la législation sur les armes – et encourent cinq à dix ans d’emprisonnement.

Comme celui du 13-Novembre, le procès de l’attentat de Nice sera filmé et enregistré pour les archives historiques.

The Public Transport Board (PTB) wishes to advise the public that it has not granted approval to increase the fares charged on public buses, and has confirmed that notices which have been placed on public transport were not generated or authorised by the Board.

Acting swiftly to quell rumours of a fare increase, the PTB has today notified all omnibus drivers and operators that the notices advertising unauthorised fare increases must be taken down immediately. The Board further stated in its correspondence to public transport operators that noncompliance with this directive will be promptly addressed and could have adverse consequences.

The public is advised to note that approved bus fares are as follows:

George Town – West Bay CI$2.00 / US$2.50George Town – Bodden Town CI$2.00 / US$2.50George Town – East End CIS3.50 / US$4.37George Town – North Side CI$3.50 / US$4.37George Town – Cayman Kai CI$8.00 / US$10.00Bus Service around GT CI$2.00 / US$2.50

The Public Transport Board has received a request to increase public bus fares. However, given the impact that a fare increase could potentially have on the community and on the cost of living, the request is being carefully considered and no decision has been made at this time.

New Junior Minister of Youth Empowerment Imparts Impactful Words of Advice to New CFBC Students

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation

Basseterre, St. Kitts, September 03, 2022 (SKNIS): Incoming students of the Arts, Science and General Studies (ASGS) Division of the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC) were encouraged to embrace the new opportunities afforded at the tertiary education institution and to have fun as they begin to pursue their careers and life goals.

Junior Minister responsible for Youth Empowerment, the Honourable Isalean Phillip, shared the advice in a motivational speech to the first-year students on Wednesday (August 31, 2022). She encouraged the young people to formulate an E.X.I.T. strategy during their tenure at CFBC.

“I encouraged them first of all to Explore. To take the opportunity to explore the different courses, the different subject areas, and also to Experience new things by engaging in extracurricular activities and different clubs. Of course, taking the opportunity to Improve themselves, and their skills, whether that’s public speaking, or communication, even just their knowledge and understanding in different areas. And finally for the ‘T’ to Take control of their lives. As young people, young adults now is the time for them to take control of determining who they want to be, to take the lead and not be afraid to ask for help especially as they try to navigate and figure out what they want to do and who they want to be as young people in this world,” Junior Minister Phillip stated.

Honourable Phillip attended the ASGS at CFBC from 2008 to 2010 and enrolled in the law programme. She joined the Literary and Debating Society and served as an executive member. She also served as a member of the History and Heritage Club. Membership in these clubs brought about travel opportunities that allowed young Isalean to experience new places and cultures.

The impactful experiences at CFBC helped Senator Phillip to discover that she no longer wanted to be a lawyer. The change in career path resulted in a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and International Development Studies from Saint Mary’s University, Canada.

“I really valued my time at CFBC for sure,” she stated. “It also was an opportunity for me to gain and transfer credits that … allowed me to spend less time in university and spend less money.”

The Junior Minister of Youth Empowerment challenged the first-year CFBC students to make suggestions to decision makers about introducing new courses that they may want to study and also to get involved with volunteer and other social initiatives.

She added that more people now have the opportunity to attend CFBC since the government recently waived the tuition fees for everyone.
