It was also noted in the Parliament last week that Shoreline owes $2.6 million in tax arrears. (TOP)
Shoreline's tax debt equates to around 25% of the total tax revenue owed to the government.
Just wondering if the government is really intent on pressuring businesses to pay their taxes, or is the government going to be selective and only extract the tax arrears from some while the other businesses are let off the hook again?
Lets see how serious the government really is...
Oh, I nearly forgot. The 2 Indian Prince's have approached the government for 20 million dollars. It was granted by the parliament on 18/11 - being 2 days after parliament closed for the year.
Perhaps the government is playing catch up and seeking the taxpayers to foot this 20 million dollar give away as well?
Anyway, it puzzles me why the Indian Prince's didn't approach the bank for some funds? Maybe they did but were rejected? Perhaps I have it wrong? Maybe the Tongan government
IS the bank for the Indian Prince's. That may be the right answer.
Fakatafa, I am SHOCKED!!!! Nearly had a heart attack!
Why why why is the govt of Tonga doing these things????? wwwwhhhhyy?
I am absolutelu gutted! 20 million loans to the King's friends???? I'm too sad to continue ..... sorry Fakatafa.
