No incentives for exporters

Well, the Finance Minister and his team obviously don’t think so, because there are absolutely no incentives for exporters in his Budget. Actually, it’s the reverse.

Net exporters, for the privilege of bringing in much needed foreign exchange for the country, now see our income tax rate increased by five percent and we have been treated in exactly the same manner as a business that brings in no foreign exchange.

If any readers can figure that one out I suggest you go to Balisier House and fill out an application form at the earliest opportunity.
