The former PRD senator for Santo Domingo, businessman Jose Antonio Najri says that the tax reform to be presented to Congress will become a major obstacle to development and would cause major market distortions. He said the implementation of the measures contained in the fiscal reform package would prompt depositors to convert their money to US dollars and to transfer it abroad. Najri, whose family is the owner of the Toyota vehicle dealership in the Dominican Republic, furthermore criticized the PLD proposals because they do not specify where the government will cut its spending. ?Technicians always submit their reforms, but they never find ways to make the state more efficient in collecting taxes, but rather go the easier way,? he told the Listin Diario. Najri stated that taxes produced by reforms of this kind become setbacks to production and development. He lamented the fact that the country has not tried to implement the economic and tax measures that have led other countries to flourish. ?In our country there are always people who do not know what it is to earn a peso and they continuously invent formulas that do not produce the desired results or choose to experiment on our people to try out new measures,? he told the Listin Diario.
