By Kiana WilburgMembers of the National Assembly on Friday passed the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic (Amendment)Finance Minister, Winston JordanAct which was brought by Finance Minister,NFL Jerseys 2018, Winston Jordan.The Member of Parliament said that the Bill seeks to do two things— to exempt persons 65 years and over, from paying for a driver’s licence; secondly, increase a set of fees on licences under the Act which has not been done in the past 20 years or so.In relation to the first objective, Jordan recalled that during his 2016 budget presentation,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, he indicated that Government is committed to sharing the wealth as the economy improves. He said that he is trying to find other ways of bringing the good life to all of the citizens regardless of their age.“And one would know that there are two novel measures in the budget one of which we are debating now which has to do with persons who have intentions of driving,Cheap NFL Jerseys, perhaps for the first time. Once they are 65 years and older they would not have to pay for a license to enjoy this pleasurable activity.“I don’t believe that this aspect would attract negativity from the opposition,” expressed the Finance Minister.He said, too, that the second objective of the Bill should also not attract resistance. Jordan said that fees on some of the licenses under the Act have been there for at least 20 years. He said that what Government is seeking to do in this instance, is to improve the cost sharing aspect because many, he believes are not paying the full cost recovery.The Finance Minister said that he does not believe that the system should be this way because several of the fees are more regulatory than for raising revenue. As such, Jordan said that there is an element of cost and what he is asking the taxpayers to bear in some respect is a part of that cost for issuing a license whether it is revenue raising or regulatory.“I think for the most part there was some tardiness on the part of the past regime in not reviewing the licenses in the last 20 years. I say tardiness because when you seek to increase these rates, they appear to be arduous and burdensome.“In going forward, we need to have a trigger mechanism put in place that will see periodic reviews of many of these licences,NFL Jerseys Authentic China,” the Finance Minister said.He said that this review mechanism could perhaps be done on a biennial basis. He then commended the Bill to the House for passage.The next speaker on the Bill was Opposition Member, Juan Edghill. He agreed that any relief to the senior citizens, in terms of exemptions from licences is a good one. Edghill said that the real issue with this Bill is the range of Guyanese that will be affected and the manner in which they will be affected.He recalled that the Finance Minister in his 2016 Budget speech said, “Most of the measures however,NFL Jerseys China, are designed to support our thrust of stimulating the economy while rekindling hope and confidence, these are essential ingredients to attaining the good life.”The Opposition member said that stimulate means to create some amount of activity,Wholesale Jerseys Online, interest and to stir up enthusiasm. He is doubtful that Guyanese would be enthused by the domino effect of the Bill which proposes astronomical increases to the fees for certain licenses.He said, “It is the travelling public that will pay more. If the license fees for the Canter or lorry truck increases, it is the person who is paying to have two zinc sheets or five sacks of cement removed that is actually paying for the fees. Everything will be passed on to the worker…That is an important thing for us to consider.”He said that most of the fees are moving in a percentage of 100 and 200 percent. Edghill said that he understands that Jordan wants to raise money given the size of his budget. He said that the approach to raise the fees on licenses under the Act is “lazy, shows lack of innovation” and unconscionable.Supporting him was former Attorney General (AG), Anil Nandlall. Nandlall, too, hammered home the point that the first objective of the Bill was visionless. He challenged Jordan to tell the House how many Amerindians in various parts of the Hinterland Region will benefit from it the measure.He said that Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, is from Whim, Berbice and even he would be unable to say how many persons from that area would benefit from the first objective of the Bill.In this regard, Nandlall stressed that fiscal measures must benefit all and not a small group.He called for the proposed fees in the Bill to be reduced by 50 percent.Jordan however did not acknowledge the proposed amendment by the Opposition. He said, instead, that “in life only two things are certain; death and taxes …and as it relates to taxes, no one likes to pay taxes.”He added, “What happened (yesterday) proves that when you take so long to increase taxes then it will end up being a painful exercise when moves are made to do it.”
