    New taxes on alcoholic beverages and matches in Dominican Republic

    Santo Domingo.– The new Decree 414-10 issued by government authorizes four million RD$0.125 stamps for taxing alcoholic beverages. According to press reports, the stamp is aimed at collecting RD$500,000.

    The decree issued on 12 August also authorizes 400 million stamps for RD$0.04 on matches. The new measure is aimed at collecting RD$1.6 million, for a total of RD$2.1 million.

    Some costumers strongly believe that lawmakers are far more interested in raising money for more government than in using tax revenue for public health and other social programs.

    Taxes and more taxes it never end, the rich get richer and the poor gets fucked.
    Putas are like lottery tickets, sometimes you get a winner sometimes you get a loser.

    A new tax of 1/3 of a penny on a bottle of PRESIDENTE? We'll live.

    So the govt. prints 404,000,000 stamps to raise US$57,000.

    Wouldn't be surprised to find out that a relative of the lawmaker owns a stamp printing business!
