Did I miss a post or are we aware that the BVI Gov't in their own quiet way has rescinded the 'sin tax duty' act that was soooo well publicized on TV, Radio, paper, Internet..The Wholesalers, RTW, Carib Cellars, TICO, etc. were notified a week or so ago......jollylou

Whow!!! You mean they chickened out on the liquor and beer taxes??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Maybe they will rethink the 40% increase in the accomodations tax.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

Lou, is it actually rescinded or just delayed ... postponed? A second draft perhaps?
