>No tax returns

>The Guyana Revenue Authority has been asked to step aside and stay out of the President’s business!

Why President Bharrat Jagdeo did not file tax returns in the past eight years?

Well, we are told by reliable sources that a letter was sent to the Office of the President recently inquiring why these returns were not made recently and seeking an explanation why none was made for the past 7 years including this one.

While we are not sure what the constitution says about the Head of State and the payment of taxes it is noted that the President and the most senior public servant, Dr. Lunchoen must pay taxes says a source close to the GRA.

We are not sure what source of action the Revenue Authority can take, but it is noted that the President recently collected US$600,000 via the sale of his house, all tax free.

We await the spin on this one.

>Where is the Gold from the Gold Board

>

For the past five year the Guyana Gold Board has not paid Corporation taxes as required by the Act that governs it.

In three letters written to the Board by the Auditor General’s office, it was revealed that the board continues avoiding to make provision in its Accounts for the payment of these taxes.

While both main political parties are well represented on the Guyana Gold Board, neither made any objections to this ongoing issue.

No one could say how much money in Corporation Taxes is owed to the government and if the Gold Board will ever pay it. 

Where is all the Gold that the Gold Board is managing?
