The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is continuing to impose Environmental Tax despite a recent ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice that it was discriminatory and a breach of the revised Treaty of Chaguaramus.
This was confirmed yesterday by a source within the GRA, given that the Commissioner General, Khurshid Sattaur, refused to comment on the matter saying that he was on leave and currently overseas.
Surinamese based Rudisa Beverages and Juices had taken Guyana to court over the tax charged on each bottle imported into Guyana and was awarded US$6M.
Rudisa, a Suriname based company, produces and sells beverages in non-returnable containers. Caribbean International Distributors Inc. (CIDI), a locally owned subsidiary of Rudisa, imports and sells them in Guyana.
The CCJ had also ordered the Government of Guyana to cease collecting the tax but this order has not been complied with as yet.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
