Santo Domingo.- It’s too early to state an opinion on a possible tax reform when its contents are yet to be known, said Senate president Reinaldo Pared Wednesday, but noted something that’s clear: "We must tighten our belts."

He said you can’t prejudge a possible tax reform because that would be "getting ahead of yourself."

"I personally think Dominican Republic’s current situation means we must tighten our belts, as the government has began doing with a series of measures President Danilo Medina implemented by decree."

On a possible elimination of tax breaks the lawmaker said everything will depend on the results of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the type of pact the government agrees upon.

Pared said an agreement with the IMF is imminent because the government needs funds to fulfill some pledges such as 4% of the GDP for education, so students can be taught with better quality.

Tax reform?

Doesn't he mean TAX INCREASE?

The funny/sad part is that all of the idiots who post here will claim that the increase is the fault of the IMF.

They will overlook the wasteful spending, thievery, and blatant corruption and instead tell us that the organization that is saving our butt is to blame.

This Narco bum is the same guy who bought a 1,000,000 US dollars apartment from a Narco developer and said he knew nothing about thier ties to drugs and money laundering. He and his 2 brothers cost the Dominican taxpayers millions of dollars a year.

One of his brothers who looks almost like a twin is the the personal gopher for Saint Danilo!

Austerity start with DR congress by slashing their ill gotten salary by half and still be rich. The hell tax should not be increase!, because you wouldn't have to pay it. If the taxes are increased, it will not affect 80% of the population since they hardly makey money to sustain themselves and family

The DR congress is made up of a bunch of rich illiterate,If you haven't noticed any time a reporter ask them questions their computer is always down,therefore can not answer any question. What a coinsidence? They hold those positions because of their money and serves no purpose at their appointed Provincial slots, since they all live at the Capital and have no office at their respective Provinces ,therefore don't know what is going on at the Province they represent, cosequently people are not represented at all.

CARAS DE CHULETA, Dominican for (PR) DESCARADOS !!Bunch of crooks,no exception !
