Over $240 million pa'anga in revenues was collected by the Tonga Government for 2020/2021 - that's about $10 million pa'anga more than they had estimated for the year. During the year Consumption Tax compliance was the highest ever, while Tonga is importing more and consuming more domestically.

Now that Government has found a way to levy a 1% taxation on remittances...it adds to the high currency transaction fees that the banks and fund transfer operators are already charging ordinary folks. Instead of finding ways to improve the economy, Government is once again robbing people of the only source of income from the hard labor of their loved ones living and working overseas. – Sione Ake-mei-hakau Mokofisi.

In response to the Mafi 'o Amerika Samoa's letter of March 30, 2010; I think he is very right. It is ridiculous to impede the help that the poor tsunami victims of Niuatoputapu need by imposing the gifts taxes and/or custom duties on those two containers of non-cash donations from the people of American Samoa. -Siosaia Fatani.

I can think of a few things in my dealing with the Government of Tonga over the years that has been recorded into my Most Ridiculous Stupid List. The recent Government of Tonga's dealing with the Pacific Island's Mission Work (PIMW) donation to the tsunami victims of Niuatoputapu tops that list. -Mafi 'o Amerika Samoa.
