The increased VAT or Valve Added Tax has made the people of Fiji worry as they would now have to spend more on their monthly expenses and most of the goods that they buy.
But then they may take some respite in the fact that these steep VAT increase is not applied on school stationeries affecting school kids in any which ways. They are thus looking at letting parents simply buying school stationeries their kids between January 4 and February 28.
Thus the state has assured that for eight weeks these important school stationeries won’t have any VAT worries for once. Textbooks and note books, pencils and pens, sharpeners and erasers, ballpoint pens, highlighters and markers, crayons and slates are among the stationary goods that won’t have an increased VAT affecting them for the stated eight weeks time.
Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama is thus looking at helping out the common households do a lot of savings. Subsidized bus fares and free textbooks are among the ways through which the state is looking at helping out the people. The food voucher program is also seeing an expansion which will further boost the chances of kids coming to school and dealing with their financial constraints.
The politician stated of how education was empowerment and the most critical criteria for a country to develop and progress and for its people to become one with peace and happiness. It is thus that they are looking at seeing the rise of educated youth from the country that will result in the ever soaring rise of Fiji.
