We Will Bring the People to Their Feet: Protest in Front of the Government

Before the law is passed, they do not take into account what it is about, and they are generally unaware of the sector. This was stated by a woman from the traders during a press conference today, January 13, in front of the government during a protest by gold market workers.

It should be noted that they are protesting against the fact that, as of January 1, the tax liable for them has increased from 5% to 10%. However, if they provide documentation, the tax is reduced from 1.5% to 1%.

“For example, if I buy goods under the category of scrap or I want to turn the goods into scrap, what should I do? Where do I get the purchase document to show that I am turning this product into scrap? The specific gold trading sector must be thoroughly studied. If a person brings clothes from abroad, it is clear that these clothes cost 5000 drams, but I am buying gold today, for instance, at 53 dollars, and tomorrow it becomes 45 dollars. How can I show that difference?”

“We should generally discuss all the problems, for example, the transportation documents become worthless within four days, for what reason? The nation must stand up to address all issues. We demand that they ask us before deciding what changes to make to the laws, rather than making decisions without consulting us. If we are not heard, we will not work, and we will bring the people to their feet to rectify our mistake,” she added.
