Día Sin IVA

8 months ago
Presidente Petro is agin' it but has agreed to consider the option that the first day it applies to foodstuffs manufactured in Colombia, the second to textiles and leathers produced nationally and the third day to all the products in the canasta familiar including foreign produced electric cars and solar panels. (Who knew electric cars and solar panels are included in the "canasta familiar?!) At the moment these are just his proposals. In prior "Días Sin IVA" the big companies like Exito, Yumbo and K tronix had whopping sales of Korean and Chinese products making money hand over fist (often even raising prices) while even without the tax break they made money hand over fist. The idea that "Día Sin IVA" be redirected to support national production seems pretty sound.
