| Message | I think the problem we face is that, at present, income is the only type of tax at our disposal. I must congratulate the BCP finance minister on this fine tax proposal and the PAL backs it entirely. I believe that this is, as has been mentioned a stepping stone to further reforms, however this tax system is aligned well to the cuts being made in the budget. |
