New tax in Cuba threatens consumption in a hungry nation - Yahoo! News Canada
by Carlos Batista 9-4-12
Cuba has slapped a new customs tax on everyday goods shipped from overseas in a drive that experts say could weaken the economy and sap consumption.
The levy took effect Monday and is payable in foreign currency. It targets goods imported by private citizens, often self-employed people who have started up businesses as part of timid reforms undertaken by the communist government in 2011.
Carmen Arias, deputy director of the customs service, said the taxes are "a way to counter this non-commercial means of personal enrichment."
