Rejected petition Cancel Company VAT returns during Covid 19 out break
Cancel Business Vat returns for the next 2 quarters to help ensure employee wages are covered and to help towards other business costs. This would be a direct and easily actioned reaction, which would show full support to the economy, both employee and employer wise.
More details
Business turn over will be down for most companies during this out break, particularly if the country enters a lock down period. Businesses have huge over heads in modern times, not to mention huge wage roles to cover and this would help quickly and swiftly.
