Error leads to concern

[NewsWhore]

Presidency Technical Secretary Temistocles Montas has explained that a possible typing error in the planned fiscal reform led many to believe that freight vehicles will be taxed under the proposed fiscal reform. Montas said that the error would be corrected, and that freight vehicles will not be subject to a 5% levy. The Secretary said that if there are any other errors or concerns about the reform they would be studied and corrected, but stood firm in saying that the RD$5 increase in gasoline is not negotiable. Montas continued by saying that once the government has heard from all the different sectors of the nation, they would press ahead with a reform that will be "beneficial" for the whole country. El Caribe newspaper explains that the confusion arose when in a paragraph that explained that passenger vehicles will not be taxed, the word freight vehicles was mistakenly excluded.
