A man has filed a civil suit against the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) who he is accusing of misclassifying two Toyota Tundra pickups imported, as passenger vehicles and not vehicles for transporting goods.
Describing himself as a businessman of Atlantic Gardens, East Coast Demerara, Hanson Ross complains that the classification which the Revenue Authority has ascribed to the vehicles will see him paying taxes to the tune of $16,771,949 to clear both vehicles.
If they are classified as goods vehicles, however, he argues that he would attract only about $417,000 in tax for each pickup.
