Commissioner General of the Guyana Revenue Authority,Cheap Jerseys From China, Khurshid Sattaur, has stated that Lethem is no free port and all goods, including vehicles entering Guyana through that area, are subject to duty and taxes, unless the owner obtains a waiver.The Commissioner General issued the statement in an invited comment as officials of the Customs and Trade Administration’s office at Lethem moved to impound several Venezuela-registered vehicles in the wake of a probe of what might be a huge racket involving the illegal importation.Kaieteur News understands that the officials have already impounded 10 vehicles in the border community.The move sparked concerns among those who have foreign-registered vehicles that were not subjected to duties and taxes upon their arrival in Guyana.Some of the vehicle owners had argued that the Lethem area is a free port where vehicles from Brazil enter the country and are allowed to retain their foreign registration without the authorization of the local authorities.However, in an interview with this newspaper yesterday,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, the GRA Commissioner General stated that the position is that every port of entry has to comply with the Customs Act.He explained that all foreign registered vehicles or goods must be subjected to duty and taxes unless this is waived by the Customs and Trade Administration.“If no control is in place then there will be abuse. All has to be in conformity with the law,China Jerseys,” the Commissioner General told Kaieteur News.According to Sattaur, the GRA is aware that there are several vehicles entering the country through Brazil and Suriname, and end up in Georgetown.This, he said, presents a disadvantage to legitimate automobile dealers who pay their fair share of taxes to the treasury.“We have to protect these legitimate businesses,Cheap NFL Jerseys,” he said.There is an arrangement that allows for a person to drive his vehicle into Guyana from a neighbouring country with that country’s registration.This is done through an arrangement which takes in the length of time and purpose of the visit.But a Guyanese using a foreign registered vehicle in the country must report to the Customs and Trade Administration to have it registered.“The rules allow for a particular time and purpose…this is to safeguard the taxes of the country,Cheap NHL Jerseys Online,” the Commissioner General stated.One Lethem resident whose vehicle was impounded told this newspaper that the GRA should track the errant vehicles to the city where the real racket occurs.Sattaur said that the GRA will be examining the explanations given by the errant vehicle owners to determine if they are legitimate.“Anybody who feels that they could bring a vehicle to Lethem without paying the requisite taxes or without obtaining a waiver must be out of their mind,Cheap Jerseys From China,” the Commissioner General stated.
