All the bellicose chest beating and foot stomping comes to a screeching halt as the AFC/APNU operative Winston Jordan quietly raises the white flag.

 

Tax evasion matter against Irfaan Ali dropped

NOVEMBER 26, 2015 | BY  | FILED UNDER NEWS 

Finance Minister, Winston Jordan, categorically stated yesterday that a case involving tax evasion on a sports vehicle by former Housing Minister, Irfaan Ali has been dropped.

He said that after “personally examining the facts” it was clear to see that, “Ali didn’t commit any wrong.”
The Finance Minister said, “I examined the matter and all the documents involved and what I can say is that someone at inland authority was just too overzealous. Ali was in no way wrong, he committed no act of impropriety and as a result of that Government has dropped the matter.”
In early September, it was reported that Ali received a letter from the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to pay up to $40M in taxes for a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) he imported last year.
But the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee insisted that he had received permission for exemptions.
On August 23, he released a letter dated March 3, 2014 that he purportedly received from GRA’s Commissioner General, Khurshid Sattaur, approving the importation.
Under regulations, MPs, Ministers, State and other officials are entitled to tax waivers on vehicles.
They can import used vehicles every three years. For new vehicles, officials are not allowed to import one before a five-year period has passed, a senior GRA official explained.
GRA contended that while serving as a Minister in the previous administration, Ali imported two luxury Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) within the last five years when he was only entitled to one.
Ali is now a Member of Parliament (MP) for the opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
Ali had taken to his Facebook page late August claiming that it was brought to his attention by a senior GRA official, that instructions have been given to institute taxes on “Motor vehicle I acquired through legal means as a Member of Parliament in the 10th Parliament.”
Ali insisted that the concession was recommended and approved by all the relevant authorities.
“I was shocked when this officer approached me… after the Parliament to inform me that I will be receiving a letter from GRA…asking me to pay taxes on this vehicle.”
Ali claimed that the issue is really about “witch hunting” and “vindictive action” aimed at members of the former Government, which “will not move me and my convictions”.

AFC/PNC consists of a bunch of shyteheads. They cannot prove any of their Nancy Stories.

 

Guyanese are fed up with AFC/PNC Nancy stories and want these AFC/PNC dunces to fight crime and take care of the economy which is spinning out of control.

Time will show all the talk of corruption under the PPP were grossly exaggerated.  The PNC/AFC made good with a lot of lies but the PPP share some blame in not pushing back and take action to mitigate these lies.  The PPP allowed perception to fester and become "reality".  The people will soon find out much of these perceptions were false and that the PNC/AFC were just a pack of liars!

Glen Lalla was the AFC/PNC propaganda machinery in fabricating these lies.

 

Karma is a bytch, people have already started boycotting his newspaper. I hope that this trend continues. Sales are down.

Did Irfaan breach the tax waivers...no.

That is yet to be proven in a court of law.  You also have to be an ass to not realize the lies and fabrications of the PNC/AFC were just that.  You also have to be an ass to not realize the PNC and their sidekick is bent of self gratification and taking Guyana right back into the abyss they left it in 1992.

You cannot face the truth so you come up with some irrational rant.  Well, god certainly seems not to be on your PNC side!

The AFC told the nation that the PPP was stealing $20 billion a year which is equivalent to US$100 million. This country does not have that kind of money for government to steal. Corruption existed under the PPP but this figure given by the opposition was grossly exxagerated. It's like  saying a manager of a 99 Cent store on Jamaica Avenue is stealing $2,000 a day while the store's daily sale is about $1,500.

I heard you went to that store and you held up the check out line when you exercised your right to call for a price check.

In a few days there will be an update for the threads, BGuard_See.

 

It again will be ZERO.

It will forever be ZERO. AFC supporters started to believe the lies that Glen Lalla was printing.
