[waytogo]

not so Moderator because all basic agricultural foodstuffs produced in the DR are exempt ..that means meat ,vegetables,fruit .milk and natural water All processed food is taxed because ITBIS is a vaalue added tax VAT

I was referring to post #1.............
Was I wrong.............

Rollout, you OBVIOUSLY haven't bought any coffee lately!!!
Cafe SD cost about 175 pesos a pound here in SD!
And due to the failure of most of the DR's coffee crop, it is most likely from Vietnam, or Africa anyway!!!!
I bought a pound of Monte Alta for 200 pesos yesterday.
It tasted like CRAP!!!!
I have 3 pounds of Olivo Family beans put away to trade Merengue Dutchie for some of his Cuban cigars, but I am VERY TEMPTED to grind ?Em myself!!!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC


?Man Does NOT LIVE by eating UNPROCESSED food alone?!!!!!!!!!!!!

....And that is a good thing for the poor......because after they pay the ridiculous tax and price for propane and cooking oil they just bought....there is little left for more taxes.

When will the government ever learn...that you cannot tax your way to prosperity.

Just out of curiosity, how much is a liter of Brugal and a bag of Santo Domingo coffee in the US?

Just moved to NY/NJ area, which is little Dominica. Can finally buy Brugal. Gotta say, I was surprised to see a liter going for near $20. Same size of Bacardi is under $15. Wish I could say it would slow me down, but alas NOT. Think that's why governments tax "sin" goods. They know we're hooked.

Just more proof that the government of DR is failing and has failed. The PLD and PRD are not the answer.

and just how do you come to that conclusion when the ITBIS on these mainly non essential items is to rise as was stated more than a year ago . I would suggest that the tax increases were the result of advice from the Central Bank and other government departments

They were mandated by the IMF. The government needs the loans to function.
