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.
