After years of falling under the radar,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, it appears that contractors will be made to comply with their taxes.During his budget presentation yesterday in the National Assembly, Finance Minister Winston Jordan announced measures for Government to collect a two percent Withholding Tax on the gross payments made to all contractors.“The two percent shall be deducted from every payment made to contractors by contractees and shall be remitted to the Guyana Revenue Authority. The amounts deducted would be allowed as a credit against the final taxes payable by the contractors,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys,” Jordan said.In current arrangements,Wholesale China Jerseys, contractors would wait to submit their annual returns before remitting payments. Not so anymore. The client will have to take out that two percent of the entire amount and send the payments to GRA.Many contractors have been paid under the table; many of them are in loose arrangements that see little recourse for the client. Several state contractors have also been managing to get away with paying little taxes, using the loophole of asking for temporary compliance certificates from GRA, but afterwards not paying their correct taxes.Meanwhile, in another announcement, Jordan said that Government is repealing a section of theIncome Tax Act as it relates to the sale of gold or diamonds not being taken into account in ascertaining the chargeable income of the persons who owned gold or diamonds.The administration is also planning to restrict the Mortgage Interest Relief to loans up to $15 million. “This measure will ensure that only low to middle income earners benefit, as was intended,Cheap Stitched Jerseys,” the minister said.The relief was introduced a few years ago by the previous administration as a means to help new homeowners to benefit from reduced taxes on their mortgage loans. However,Wholesale Jerseys China, there have been reports of persons taking mortgages in excess of $15M and still benefitting.The relief was supposed to benefit the working class.

…police hunt two moreThe police seem to have cracked the case involving the brutal robbery and kidnapping, with the arrest of three men.Those arrested allegedly attacked and robbed a Number 22 Bel Air, West Coast Berbice family, then kidnapped a family member whom they later dumped at a lonely spot in Mahaicony after the stolen vehicle apparently ran low on Gas.But before they released their victim they demanded a $30M ransom from his relatives.According to information three men were picked up at a location on East Coast Demerara some time Tuesday evening.A cellular phone, which was stolen from the kidnap victim Wazim Shariff was allegedly found in the possession of one of the men. The other stolen items including a firearm and matching ammunition, cash and jewellery were not recovered. The men are said to be from Cane Grove.Those arrested have since been positively identified by the robbery and kidnap victims.The bandits, about five in number, about 10:30 hrs on Tuesday invaded the grocery shop of 65-year-old Albert Subhan who is also a rice farmer. They brutalised his family and robbed them of close to $1M in cash and jewellery, before kidnapping his 33-year-old son-in-law Wazim Shariff.Shariff had arrived at the home while the robbery was in progress.Zulika Subhan, 56, had told Kaieteur News that she lives with her husband, her daughter Zameena Subhan, 28, and a 12-year-old grandson, Farad, who is wheelchair bound.She had stated that the unmasked bandits scaled the back fence and entered the shop through a side door which was open.

He was viciously struck on the head with a gun. Remigrant businessman Wazim Shariff of Number Four village was visiting his in-laws to collect a vehicle. He was pounced upon and beaten, his licenced firearm, a .32 revolver, was taken away and he was bundled into one of the cars on the premises, PNN 871, and taken away.After he was forced into the car with three bandits, the two that were outside went into another vehicle.According to Shariff, as the bandits were heading towards Georgetown, the three who were holding him captive were calling on the two in the other vehicle to take the lead so as to inform them if “police (roadblock) were on the road”. However those at the back were unable to catch up with those in front.The bandits on their way were barefacedly signaling to oncoming vehicles,NFL Jerseys Outlet, asking if police were on the road. As fate would have it,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, the gas ran low and the bandits? eventually turned down a lonely road at Drill, Mahaicony, about one mile down a? bushy area, where they again beat the hapless man, before stripping him and using his bootlaces and belt to tie his hands and feet together.They also stripped him of his band, rings, chains and wallet with all his documents and about $8,000 in cash,Wholesale Jerseys From China, before leaving him.According to the victim, the bandits walked out back towards the road,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, after abandoning the car, pulling out a few wires in the process. All the time they were deciding if they should kill him or give him a chance.He somehow managed to release himself and walked to the Mahaicony Police station, where he made a report. His wallet was later found about two miles away at Fairfield, Mahaicony.

20%港人日刷牙2次做不到 成人平均7顆以上蛀牙  2006年10月25日09:50 中國新聞網
　　中新網10月25日電 据星島日報報道，每天刷牙兩次這個小小動作，原來有近兩成港人做不到。香港衛生署調查顯示，有近兩成人每天只刷牙一次，甚至全不刷牙，五成半人亦從不檢查牙齒，估計香港成年人平均有七顆以上的蛀牙。

　　香港署於今年四至五月間，訪問了二千名市民。結果發現，有一成九受訪者，每天只刷牙一次，或至全不刷牙。從不使用牙線的，則多近七成五人；也有五成人從不檢查牙齒。只有三成人以“良好或非常良好”來形容自己的口腔健康狀況，一成多人則直認自己的口腔健康狀況“差或非常差”。男性的口腔護理和健康亦較女性差。

　　香港衛生防護中心高級醫生蔡曉陽表示，近兩成人不刷牙的情況非常令人關注。高級牙科醫生(口腔健康教育組)陳鄭玉卿表示，即是有刷牙的八成人，也未必用對方法，“港人普遍的錯誤刷牙方法，都是太大力，又或者忽略牙肉邊緣”。她指出，牙刷只能刷到牙面，兩牙之間的隙縫，一定要靠牙線來清潔,植牙，兩者互相配合。

　　調查發現，近三成人曾經吸煙或仍有吸煙習慣。陳鄭玉卿指出，尼古丁會令牙周組織抵抗力下降。

　　她引述早年的數据指出，十二歲以下小童中平均少於一只蛀牙，但在三十五至四十四歲的成年人中，則有九成八人有蛀牙，平均蛀牙數目多達七只半。

　　正確的護牙方法包括每天起床及晚上睡前刷牙，徹底清除牙菌膜，要留意牙齦邊緣，使用含氟的牙膏，並使用牙線清潔齒間和牙齒鄰面。市民每次進食應隔至少一個半至兩小時，好讓口水能有時間中和口腔痠性，也避免吃過硬和過痠的食物。

Doctors at the Suddie Public Hospital are stabilising 25-year-old Keshaz Boodram’s condition before he could be operated on.? Boodram was admitted a patient at the hospital early Saturday morning and remains in an unconscious condition. He was involved in an accident.He was a passenger at the time of the accident.According to reports, the driver Christopher Ruffino,Bill Lee Jersey, who lives at Charity,Cheap Sittched Jerseys China, was traveling along the Lima Public Road,China Jerseys Free Shipping, heading north when the vehicle PKK169 slammed into and destroyed a culvert on the Lima Public Road before colliding into a steel fence,Cheap Jerseys Paypal, a shed and into Shafeek Mohamed’s fence.The accident occurred around 3:00 hours yesterday.Both Boodram and Ruffino were said to be intoxicated after drinking heavily earlier Friday night and were said to be heading to Charity.Ruffino sustained a deep cut to his forehead and a hard hit to his stomach. He is a patient at the same hospital but he is in Ward Two.At the Suddie Public Hospital, Boodram’s relatives were seen crying. His condition was listed as critical.Last week Sunday 22-year-old Ishwar Arjune, of Anna Regina drove off the Land Of Plenty Public Road and ended up on a nearby trench. He was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, after sustaining a broken pelvis.

Bill’s Guyanese mother would have give he ‘plenty licks’ (as you say) if he behaved like some modern Guyanese do. Clara Hutchinson,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, as she was called when living in Hadfield Street as a girl,Cheap MLB Jerseys, used to tell me “Manners maketh man” all the time. She was right. Then and now.Cabinet ministers do it. Members of Parliament do it. Academics do it; advertising executives do it.Too many of you do it. First,Wholesale NFL Jerseys Online, you are late for meetings. As Bill used to tell them at GTV, “Six o’clock is Six o’clock anywhere in the world. Let’s start the news NOW!”If a meeting is at 10.00 a.m then it starts then,Wholesale Jerseys China, not at 10.32 as one of mine did today. If a seminar starts at 10.00 then that does not mean 11.00 or even 11.17 in one case,Cheap Jerseys For Sale, does it? What you are saying to people by arriving late is that ‘My time is more important than yours, you can wait’.No! What you are being is plain rude. Time management is an essential lesson of life and for life. It defines us. Our children need to learn it,Sale NFL Jerseys, our students need to learn it.GMT here may equal ‘Guyana Mean Time’ but it also equals a distinct lack of respect. Bill is on a rant. Long overdue too. Worse are those who fix an appointment and then simply do not turn up! Incredible ! No explanation, no phone call.Nothing. Nada. It beggars belief especially when the person or persons (it has happened to Bill more than once in the last week) has a prominent role in Guyanese society.Suppose we called a war or an election and nobody turned up to them?Get a grip Guyana and do so quickly! It is not too late. The serial offenders know who they are (Bill is too nice to ‘out’ them) but do they know why they do it? My mother Clara Eloise was right fifty years ago in that Providence logie of ours. Manners maketh man (and woman) then and it does so today. Time please for Guyana to confine GMT (and no show) to history!Pip!Pip! (On the third stoke it will be 4.00 pm. Bill gotta rush. Due somewhere at 5.00)
