Santo Domingo.- Leon Jimenes Group (ELJ)  president Abel Wachsmann revealed Monday that more than RD$8.4 billion (nearly US$200.0 million) will be paid in taxes from the deal in which AmBev will buy a 41.76% stake in the brewery (CND) that makes Presidente beer, Dominican Republic’s top seller.

He said all the normal steps were followed to establish that figure in that type of transaction and agreed with the Internal Taxes Agency (DGII), to guarantee that all tax commitments were complied with.

For his part, Alexandre Médicis, who will be the CEO of the CND, the transaction contributes to the country’s economic development. “We expect our contributions to continue contributing to the country’s economic development. We’re committed to continued growth; we’ll do so as the CND has always done, with transparent and responsible tax commitments.”

Hillary drinking a presidente, very interesting and perhaps a good promo for the beer. However, I just wonder if she is so happy because presidente is her favorite beer or did she get a nice kick back to broker the deal?

I mean don't think for a minute that she is excited because she got herself a couple of free cases of Presidente for her and Bill to drink over memorial day week-end.

Victor, why bother asking!?...One is a delusional communist, and the other does not have the brain to envision such misery!!

Over $216 MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES?

$216 MILLION for the unproductive to steal and waste.

$216 MILLION tax just because some contracts were signed.

$216 MILLION in taxes and there are still people who think it is too low.

that is a old picture of HillyBilly swilling the Presidente.....The deal was inevitable for years... I only wish it had been Hieneken that pulled the trigger ...But Cervecerias days were numered as the Great Blutarsky has said many many times .....We are now back to one beer company and the public will get screwed again
