Budget - Impact On Vehicle Prices

[Mazda6]

You guys see the Doctor types from GMOA ranting about the permit today on news? Made Fishmongers look good.

Yes I agree with you, GMOA is well organized. Well as a foreign expat myself we dont have such organization. So all we can do is withdraw our NRFC accounts and taking it back to US bank. That's the only influence we can do to the government if they decided to give the permits back. Government asking foreign expats to deposit their hard earned money in SL and at the same time doctors asking for duty-free permits. These two things are mutually exclusive. I have a very strong opinion about this, I myself cannot stomach the fact that single cent of my money is used to give tax breaks to any specialezed official. If they so want cars they need to learn to pay taxes for the full amount.

If govt still wants to give permits (under the influence of GMOA) they should only give one permit for life for every individual who is qualified by their criteria irrespective that the person works in private or govt sector. Under this condition I can at least bear the fact that people get benifit from foreign expats money.

is it allowed to even do that without outward remittance restrictions of The central bank?

I agree with you,it's a pity foreign workers who are the largest contributor to SL GDP have no organization level strength and need to organise at least now to put pressure on Government Policies. At least the Blue permit scheme which was cancelled a few years ago should be brought back.
