Adrian, chill out, you will be paid.

Hey CCC, whilst you are at it, I would also like to get my tax refund which is long overdue. It is soon time to file again and I have not even been given the courtesy of a reply saying like…..I am sorry, the government has no money to pay you! What a way to run a government! Sinkliar at his best!

I do belive sinckler stated that the bhta owes millions of dollars to the govt.which can be definite cause for the delay in the other person receiving their refunds owed to them by govt. maybe adrien can write an article dealing with such matters and the effects it has on the govt inabilty to pay others, after all these funds due by those entities does have a negative impact to others that the govt owes.
hence we have such notables as adrien rightfully so asking for his just desserts.

@Adrian

while i empathise with u about not receiving your vat refund, what should the govt do concerning those hotels which owe them millions on corporation, vat and other taxes. Further what whould BWA do. I wonder if they owe LIME or the Electricity Company any huge amount.

“Adrian, chill out, you will be paid.”
Does that also apply to Al Barrack, CLICO policyholders like BARP and the numerous creditors to whom this government owes millions? Now you can’t go on blaming the BLP and ‘Seethru’ for the current state of affairs.

“My Government will also facilitate arrangements to have Almond Beach Village rebuilt to provide permanent employment for some 1000 persons. “

CCC, can we conclude from the above extract of the throne speech that the Four Seasons Restart has now been shot out of the water, Persaud has walked away with millions in consultancy fees, and the rest of the NIS money ended up in Maxwell Pond?

We know of some who will be happy for such a turn of events. And it is not your favourite animals the canine bitches but your green tinged cousins the monkeys who have regained repossession of their sanctuary and are occupying villas of rusting steel and bush entertaining the spirits of the Indigenous people while looking across the Caribbean sea instead of their materially wealthy European cousins.

But then again why not get the police to blame these green monkeys for stealing the jewellery and items from the Sugar Hill barons instead of the on-sight black ones?

Country BROKE, presently cannot meet financial obligations, wait till tomorrow when no one will be paid, civil servants included. Corrupt officials will still be driving their BMW’s, Merc’s and Audi’s and dining at Chefette as the Champers, Lonestar and Cliff money has dried up.

The rest of Barbados will be back to donkey carts, bread and water.

@wily Coyote
Corrupt officials?? IN BIM??? I’m shocked.
Watch yuh mout Bo!
No Vat repayment for you.

@ac

Your response is beyond comprehension. Carry on.

We need more individuals like Adrian who is not afraid to speak out. If we did many of these politicians who could not find a decent job with decent pay would looking for alternatives.

what if government prints a list of all the inidvuals and companies that owe it?

“what if government prints a list of all the inidvuals and companies that owe it?”

It will only show how incompetently incestuous this administration really is.
Just a bunch of law breakers themselves colluding with corporate Barbados to collect customers’ hard earned money and not paying it over to the Treasury for the good of the general public.
The blatant violation of the Revenue Collection laws of Barbados with the downright support of this administration to fleece consumers and workers is clearly indicative of the quality of managers running this country from top to middle both political and administrative.
But what can we expect from the people forming this current administration which made it their business to be the chief law breakers by issuing a radio broadcast licence in the middle of a general election campaign and encouraging civil servants to break the Public Service Act and CEO’s of Statutory Corporations to speak on partisan political platforms with impunity.

Imagine “intelligent’ people cannot separate the moral obligation of government to honour its debt but would seek to obfuscate its obligation with that of defaulters.

David i’m trying to read comments on this blog and not see the likes of ac and company, who are ignorant to facts. may i suggest you do the same? i have come to see for some people its all about party first, fuck Barbados as long the party say so, it is all well and good.

What about the $620 million owed to the Treasury by the Barbados private sector?

How many Government debts could be paid if our private sector would pay up what they owe?

Just imagine, businesses taking out NIS from workers wages and salaries and keeping it.

Failing to pay Land tax.
Failing to water bills.
Failing to pay vat.
Failing to pay customs duties.
Failing to pay income tax.
Failing to property transfer tax.
To name just a few.

BUT……………..They pay ELECTRIC BILLS
BUT………………..They pay TELEPHONE BILLS
BUT………………….They pay BMW and MERCEDES BILLS
BUT……………………They pay YACHTS in the CAREENAGE BILLS

I wonder why some bills get paid and not others?

@David not BU

Yuh all know what i said is true if the big fat cats who had benefitted in the years of plenty in the hotel industry do diligence and paid their fair share the govt would have enough to pay who they owe with enough left over to decrease the vat tax which in turn would put money in the peoples pocket. adrian should be calling those hotel fat congolomerates out and letting them know it is their moral duty to pay the taxpayers their money instead of ripping off the govt if he really wants to be honest and ttruthful about some of the reasons caused to the delay in govt not having enough to pay the citizens what they owe.

@Adrian

Please stick to the script, you are a citizen of Barbados who pays your taxes and in return the government should honour its obligation to you and others, period.

@Adrian

You are not being criticized by ‘others’ as you say. You are being criticized by those with political agendas.

Perhaps it makes sense if the government intends to provide support to the beleaguered hotel sector that he looks at escalation government returns from the VAT and Inland Revenue instead of giving away tax dollars only to see many of the same hotels closed doors.

Dem ain’t got a clue hear.

Adrian, what about the Hotel training Levy which some hoteliers are putting in their pockets?

I guess you agree with that too!!!

ac

“adrien you want your money . i implore you to write an article calling on the big fat cats who have refused to pay the govt their fair share to comply and abide by the laws of barbados ”

Adrian will never do that, even though it is the correct thing to do.

He fears being ostracized by his Hotel buddies. They would accuse him of letting the side down.

DAVID

The man, with a huge amount of egg on his face, why is it ok for corporate Barbados to owe our treasury in various ways nearly three quarters of a billion dollars in unpaid duties and taxes and not pay?

Like the dutiful Barbados Labour Party supporter that you are why have you not condemmned this criminal act?

Ask Adrian if most of his guests at the end of their stay refused to pay their Hotel bills where would he be today?

HATE to have to agree with Carson but there are some unscrupulous business people out there who do not like to pay taxes.

Unfortunately some of them, or a lot of them are of a certain phenotype and they corrupt others in the process

If Freundel and his goons can go after them in this term and make them pay the taxes owed or at least accumulate no more arrears , I would welcome that. There should be Zero Tolerance. If the DLP can turn back these wicked people, it would be good but the DLP as a party are as corrupt as these people–so hope is lost. Imagine the DLP buying votes with dirty hundred dollar bills and telling lies to win an election-THE BIG LIE –about Transportation will come back to haunt the DLP
