'Oxfam pays $1m tsunami aid duty'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4103054.stm
BBC skrev: | British charity Oxfam has had to pay the Sri Lankan government $1m in import duty for vehicles used in tsunami reconstruction work.
Paperwork had kept the 25 four-wheel drive vehicles idle in the capital, Colombo, for a month.
The Sri Lankan government told the BBC News website the aid had been duty free until the end of April but was now needed to prevent "market distortions". |
Så nødhjelpsorganisasjoner må betale skatt for å gjøre noe som regjeringen på Sri Lanka egentlig skulle gjort?!?
Denne "nødhjelps-skatten" lukter det stygt av, og dersom Norge noen gang har hatt behov for å vise "muskler" i utenrikspolitisk sammenheng, så er det NÅ!
