Trade CUBANS DO NOT PAY TAXES? ROUTE

By: Arnaldo Ramos Lauzurique.

In the meeting of the Popular Power National Assembly on 15 December, the Minister of Finance and Prices, Lina Pedraza Rodriguez, said: "Virtually none of us have paid taxes. "

When the spokesmen of the regime make such a statement referring to Law No. 1213 of July 7, 1967, allegedly exempted from payroll taxes of workers and in fact only provided stop accounting records.

should be remembered that this was the time of implementation of pseudo-economic theory of Ernesto Guevara, when it eliminated the double entry accounting and controls were limited to the registration of the physical facts, removing records financial, but workers continue to accrue same salary, that prior to this law called pay.

That has continued so far, so those taxes are implicit in the current salary, including one called "four percent for industrialization, which now moves to laughter.

But to top it off, after all these years, the population has the burden of an excise tax, called the circulation and sales tax, levied on all goods and services offered by the State, except the small share rules, and in 2010 totaled 13 462 million pesos, about 31% of all incomes. This is without counting the taxes paid by workers and owners of private vehicles.

Mrs. Lina Pedraza acknowledged that the road tax is applied without being reflected in the current tax law (Law 73 of August 1994). This illegality graciously justifies stating: "... the collection capacity he has."

Other charges not considered as taxes imposed on the population, almost mandatory, as the day's salary to the MTT (Militia Territorial Troops), pompously named "Independence Day" and other contributions to mass organizations, among which are the unions and the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), which contribute nothing in return.

And to make matters worse, the Minister added: "Today's current tax on wages, we have not applied, but we are in favor of keeping ..."

If this is added the onerous contributions are subject to self-employed, in the coming years will be as intended, a significant proportion of those who work, and the threat of tax the unrelated work, then we can conclude that the Cuban population is drowned taxes.

is preferable to believe that Lina Pedraza not know what he is saying, not to qualify a liar.
