In the first sign of Government’s softening of the two per cent levy on foreign exchange transactions, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart this evening said that his administration was prepared to make “minor adjustments” to the controversial tax.
Speaking to reporters during his walk-through of BMEX 2017, Stuart noted that in keeping with the 2017-2018 Budget, the new levy was due to take effect in just under a month from now on July 1, which he said gives concerned sectors time to react.
In fact, the Prime Minister said the July 1 implementation date was “deliberate because we wanted to hear what people thought might be some of the challenges they were likely to face as a result of it.
“So we still have time to listen and to make any minor adjustments that need to be made to facilitate those persons who will be affected by the two per cent commission,” he said.
Delivering the Budget on Tuesday, Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler announced that “in an effort to signal the need to reduce the demand for consumption goods, I propose that, effective July 1, a broad-based foreign exchange commission be charged on all sales of foreign currency at a rate of two per cent.
“This will extend to, inter alia, all wire transfers, credit card transactions, and over the counter sale of foreign currencies,” he explained at the time.
Sinckler also said the measure was expected to raise an estimated $52.5 million over the remainder of the current financial year and $140 million over a full financial year.
Standing amid the exhibition booths mounted by local manufacturers this evening, Stuart said “the whole rationale of the imposition of the two per cent commission is to get people to focus on Barbados, and on supporting Barbadian workers and Barbadian businesses, rather than continuing to use Barbados’ foreign exchange to support manufacturers in other parts of the world”.
However, he said in imposing the tax, his administration recognizes that in some instances the inputs of manufacturers have to come from abroad, so “account will be taken of that because you don’t want to frustrate people’s spirit of innovation, spirit of entrepreneurship by making access to inputs burdensome”.
Stuart said that Barbadians had been talking for a long time about earning foreign exchange, and while he conceded that there was nothing wrong with that, he stressed that “we’ve spent too little time concentrating on saving foreign exchange”.
Therefore, in his estimation, the two per cent imposition was “another way of disciplining the consumer in Barbados”.
Nonetheless, Stuart said citizens were still free to carry out foreign exchange transactions.
“Nobody is going to stop nobody from importing or using foreign exchange to support businesses overseas.
“All we are saying is if that is what you prefer to do, this little penalty comes along with it, because it cannot be that Barbados’ future development will rest on the extent to which we support businesses elsewhere rather than supporting our own here in Barbados,” the Prime Minister stressed.

Why should he wait until we comment on this levy before he ‘nose’ the likely impact of its imposition? What has become of the tenants of certainty & incidence when taxes are introduced or increased? Clear signs of an admin out of its depths.#timeforchange.

Question for you Mr Prime Minister..
Will this commission be going into the Government’s coffers as foreign exchange?

How ironic that black people are making fun of black features. Smh
Because he is an asshole.

Good observation. I do not see the reason why comments have to insult the PM features. If the PM is an idiot say he is an idiot. No need to be hurling insults at his physical features. It just makes the commenter appear low class and ridiculous.
Do you remember Pinocchio?
How about scrapping the increase levy?
? You must be reading invisible ink.
Full respect for this comment.
But we don’t know yuh know.
This comment!
Do only black people have noses? Freundel has a big nose? Do only black people have big noses? People are ridiculing Freundel because he is a total ass and therefore his big nose becomes an easy target for mocking him.
Arte Maria Benn if you check I may critique actions/work performance but when it comes down to physical features that one has inherited, I don’t go there. When I hear blacks insulting each other’s appearance it shows that they don’t love themselves/blackness. Just the other day they were up in arms about the monkey nuts bar, so it seems that blacks are comfortable insulting each other but have problems when whites do it. Smh
Lisa Moore if you’re making reference to my use of the word “nose” then you’ve missed it & is refusing to deal with the real substantive issue. The MoF made a boo boo & the PM nose/knows it. My nose it probably bigger than his, so too is my brain.
Lisa Moore if you fully understood the use of the English language you would know that i in no way made reference to the PM’s facial features. Just a play on words sweetheart. The use of inverted commas (“nose”) adds credence to my point.
Arthur Collymore your comment is like someone calling a man walking funny gay but then turns around and say that I have no problems with gays, blah blah blah.
Thank you Lisa Moore I now have hope that there is more like you out there!
Lisa Moore point taken & i must agree with you. Can you now spare a comment on the issue posted by Barbados Today that generated this discussion?
Arthur Collymore , Sure for me to respond to the article I first have to know what policy is; in analyzing policy, there first must a problem, identifying options, determining consequences of each option, predicting the outcome and making value judgements from the options. What I’m understanding here is that this is the process of developing policy.
Arthur Collymore, I don’t know what this woman is talking about. You were using a turn of phrase, you wasn’t dissing his nose, but she is using the term “blacks”. Now isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black.
No matter how much it rains, and how much fertilizer you use, don’t get mad when common sense don’t grow in your garden. Smh

This government lead by the PM is never in tune with the public.Why impose it to now want to make adjustments after the public disagree. Maybe if you was a PM that use to hold town hall meetings and engage the public we would be far more better off. Just call the election and ease the burden on we having to deal with you any longer.

He wants us to buy local but does he not understand the even if he has a man tailor the suit he wears everyday, the fabric isles made if comes from somewhere else.. and the underwear and socks and shoes?? And it’s all paid in foreign echange cause someone had to pay the fabric dealer in some other currency to purchase the fabric and bring it here. And you can bet he doesn’t eat ground provisions and meats and fish wholey and soley grown, raised or caught here. Someone purchased them from over and away and brought them in… .. and those glasses he wears are not made here.. someone paid foreign exchange to bring them in. 2 pct will be added to everything. Before the 10pct and before the 17. 5pct on the goods AND the shipping. I’m not an economist or a finance person and even I know that.. he cannot be for real.

It is reported that this administration spent circa $350k on a new Mercedes for the PM. Given our present circumstances this does not look good. Its rather untimely and insensitive. After all its Tax payers money.

All governments in this country have adjusted legislation after it’s been passed. Even the employers are calling for the new employment rights legislation to be adjusted. After the fact thought is human nature. We make solid decisions in our homes then to have to change it, because we couldn’t see the effects before. So the PM is right, manufacturing imports have to be protected, but generally our taste for foreign goods have gotten the better of us over the years, to the point where we even import items we can get here easily. We don’t consider for the jobs of our brothers, neighbors, or even ourselves. So the government is right for imposing the tax on foreign exchange leaving the country. The tow ways to improve our foreign exchange account is to earn more, or spend less. It’s that simple.

Oh my word – Winston Churchill knew this was BS over 100 yrs ago…
It is the theory of the Protectionist that imports are an evil. He thinks that if you shut out the foreign imported manufactured goods you will make these goods yourselves, in addition to the goods which you make now, including those goods which we make to exchange for the foreign goods that come in. If a man can believe that he can believe anything. (Laughter.) We Free-traders say it is not true. To think you can make a man richer by putting on a tax is like a man thinking that he can stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle. (Laughter and cheers.) —Churchill, Free Trade Hall, Manchester, 19 February 1904, Complete Speeches I: 261

The Leader of the Opposition says in Today’s Sunday Sun that she will roll back the National Social Responsibility Levy. She didn’t say that she would scrap the levy. Since when has she been supportive of the levy in any form or fashion? Did she vote against it in last year’s Budgetary Proposals? How can someone roll back something that he/she opposed previously? She also agreeing with Owen Arthur that the IMF route would be the better option. Oh Lord Have His Mercy this bright Sunday morning, why didn’t she use the economic advice given to her by her economic advisers on Wednesday during her three hours of wuking up and putting her hands in the air like Red Plastic Bag? This is an admission that her attempt to reply to the budget on Wednesday poor rakey. The BLP needs a new leader to take them into the next elections. It isn’t too late. The obvious choice is young Ryan Straughn. And Owen, it isn’t too late for you to change your mind about retiring from active politics. You can either run as an Independent or for one of the smaller Parties.
Same PIGTAIL different soup.

I have always had a problem with all these impositions and not collections. It makes no sense constantly imposing tax and at the end of the day you are not collecting. That defeats the purpose.
Where are the persons who have to police and pursue these tax
collections?
Seems like we have to appoint a guard to watch the guard.
I am sure we still have men and women out there who would do a good job in pursuing tax collections.

I think this is ridiculous now people always talk about support local and in some form or fashion you do. Do we stock,grow and produce everything here no we don’t. If you have a small business just to keep your head above water to support you and your family traveling abroad to get items to sell and just to swipe your card you have to worried tell me what sense is that. KEEPING in mind when you come through the airport you still have to pay customs.

You people don’t know the BLP fuh true. They are only using Straughn , as he is being seen in the same light as Arthur and Mascoll i.e ”nuhbody”. The same yardfowls of African descent ,who are posting derogatory comments about the P.M”s big nose, will never accept big nose Straughn or Malik Mascoll as their leader, even if they are as bright as the evening star.

Yesterday at BMEX , the Prime Minister chided Barbadians for spending their money to support foreign businesses ,instead of buying local.
This from the leader of a government which has turned its back on agriculture, and is forcing Barbadians to spend millions on imported food stuff. We have a Macaroni Boat, a Ramen Boat, a Corn Curl Boat and a J-uc and Pepsi Boat, among others.
Lets wait and see if at Christmas time whether this same government will give approval to import ”Christmas trees” from Canada, instead of improvising, and using locally grown Estwick trees ( useless cultivated wild River Tamarind)

This from the leader of a government which has turned its back on agriculture, and is forcing Barbadians to spend millions on imported food stuff. We have a Macaroni Boat, a Ramen Boat, a Corn Curl Boat and a J-uc and Pepsi Boat, among others.

I doan care what a fellow say. If I had a house I would not insure it nor paint the outside. These are gimmicks to get your money. Why should I pay taxes for a property I bought. I can understand why I have to pay for electricity, water, gas and such like as I am being provided with a service. If I have already bought the land and maintaining it what do I have for the government. Pinocchio, pinocchio, pinocchio. Steupse

White Bajans and local Asians are enjoying the postings of ignorant blacks on this comments section, who don’t know anything about their ancestry. Ryan Straughn and Freundel Stuart are proud of their big noses and their foreparents. Their great great grandmothers did not allow the white man to use them as sexual convenience i.e screw them in the dark of night for an extra handful of sugar and then enslave them during the day. How the hell you little moon donkeys think you were born with fair skins and kinky hair? Regretfully that was the thinking of Sir Grantley Adams who couldn’t find a black woman like himself to marry. All the supporters since then are sorry that they were born black.
Joan girl you like a pepper. Bring it girl. Now you can see what I am talking about when I say that this people have been frayed from the inside out. A lack of identity and self hate is a very serious issue to this people. To the state of constant usage by every other race on his planet. Being DONKEYS physically and mentally. Who do we blame???? that co** boy Grantley for STARTERS.
The other nations started the mental destruction of this people and then left them to finish the rest of the destruction among themselves. Them so destroyed that they are now willingly giving themselves for usury both in the bedroom and out for a couple of dollars. What a jokers paradise.

Loren za or Laurie or whatever is your name, go and read the report on cases of HIV on the island. You are a same-sex advocate. Twice I engaged you in a dialogue recently and you ended up on both occasions putting your foot in your mouth. . I prefer to be branded a DLP yardfowl than a BLP transvestite . You just see BLP and start cussing without reading the subject matter. Yes, I love attacking Mia but in this column, I am addressing the ignorant moon donkeys , who don’t know anything about their ancestry and resort to derogatory remarks about big nose Stuart. I reminded them that Straughn has a big nose and Mascoll has a face like Malik according to your leader. Presumably you are one of the hate mongers in the BLP who ran big nose Don Blackman from the Party because he stood up the half white skin Tom Adams. Wunnuh real ignorant fuh true. Once before I would have told you to get off muh back but you might think that I am ”one of you” if I tell you so now.

Laurie Lornza, I was discussing black BLP bloggers disowning their black ancestors. Respond in kind. Don’t dodge the topic and switch from Stuart big nose to Stuart big car. Man or woman or whatever you are, you seem to like putting your foot in your mouth. Do you have two feet? Please put the other foot in the orifice located at the lower part of your body.
