And more will come in remain two years.Great achievements by Deni, Kudos!
What is his politics like?
Is he centrist? leftwing? rightwing?
Of course using the standards of Somalia and not the West.
He is 'left' wing, if we consider his government's attitudes towards non-native people who have been 'naturalised'.
I think with President Deni, we're just grateful he's not a gaajo thief and is actually competent so we don't focus on what his political ideology is.
(Masha'Allah, may Allah protect him from the evil eyes of his detractors).
When it comes to government finances, spending, and where he places his emphasis.
Ethnic stuff can be a distraction, I mean when it comes to budgets/tax levels/business friendliness etc.
Puntland has always been a safe haven for all businesses, monopoly has never been accepted. That's why Somali corporate giants like Golis, Amal and non-native Dahabshiil companies are thriving with no fear of government interference.
This has not changed with Deni, he's a businessmen himself.
He placed most emphasis on financial competence and security.
I don't know how to describe this as an ideology though.
Corona is a useful litmus test to place people on the left or the right.
Has he been more strict on Corona compared to the rest of Somaliweyn or East Africa, or did he barely implement restrictions?
I think PL finance minstry doing it.@warside @DR OSMAN @Thegoodshepherd & anyone else who has any idea
Is there corporate tax in Puntland?
Yes, but they don't enforce it , they collect meager amounts from the companies, last month the revenue from corporate profits was just 17,000. The minister Hasan Abgal was focusing lately on sales tax (1 million last month) and payroll tax for some cities (500,000 $ last month) and he mentioned that they will not accept 100 dollars from big companies any more.@warside @DR OSMAN @Thegoodshepherd & anyone else who has any idea
Is there corporate tax in Puntland?
Not just big Compaines, even who work with NGOs refuse to pay tax. Finance minstry transfer their cases to PL goverment attorney so they fine them. Plus he went to Bossaso and seat with Big sharks businessmans.@warside
The minister commended Martisoor Hotel and HHA Hotels who voluntarily pay taxes and they pay a lot of money.
They need to go after these other big companies, fine them and if they refuse, shut them down. I also think they need to criminalise tax evasion and people should serve time.
Puntland needs to be like the IRS- as in people need to be in deep fear of missing tax payments.
The NGO staff didn't pay taxes before, in Q2 2021 revenue of payroll tax on NGO staff was 430,000 $, similar to taxes on government workers including the army (538,000).Not just big Compaines, even who work with NGOs refuse to pay tax. Finance minstry transfer their cases to PL goverment attorney so they fine them. Plus he went to Bossaso and seat with Big sharks businessmans.
In two or three years our income will increase inshalla.
