VAT is needed to aid social services and the poor, it's 12% here in Canada but it was higher though.

i like the sound of that ..social services i hope vat does cover those necessary services.. WE have alot of ppl struggling and suffering with all kinds of anxieties and to maintain an emotional balance and coping skills with todays recession pocket empty economic environment..
ITS my opinion that a country with highest standards and coverage of social services are the most developed countries in the world.. i think northern europe probably wins.. I do not judge a country superiority by its shear wealth, high rise cities, fastest trains..NO its because of its social services..

ANYWAY i am hoping the tax net can catch many culprits who evade taxes helping the coffers of our treasure to increase and help other poor ppl in this country.. HOW WILL CASTRIES MARKET VENDORS BE AFFECT ? OR VENDORS GENERALLY WILL THEY INCREASE THEIR STUFF TOO .. ?? HOW WILL THE GOV GET MONIES FROM THEM.. ??
