Reduce E-VAT on medicines
About “Thank God for the oil crisis” (Rene
Q. Bas Enthusiasms & Forebodings, July 11, 2008):
I couldn’t agree more that the difficulties we
are going through right now could be a blessing in disguise as we as
a people become more conscious of precious resources that we usually
take for granted in times of plenty. A lasting effect of the current
crisis could change the culture of wasteful spending and
consumption; encourage recycling and thrift among us. I also agree
that the E-VAT on oil products not be lifted for the many reasons
already discussed. But what I would like to see is the lifting or
reduction of (E-VAT) on other products which will benefit all, such
as medicines, canned goods and perhaps meals in fast food
restaurants where majority of the workers, students and the masa
take their meals.
Just my ten cents worth.
