Property Tax Dispute
In 2009, the Guyana Revenue Authority issued eight property tax forms to Frederick Kissoon. The reason was that he was delinquent with his Property taxes. Frederick Kissoon responded harshly to the Commissoner-General of the Guyana Revenue Authority stating that "I have worked at UG for 23 years. My wife has worked for 26 years. Together we saved our money in the bank after paying PAYE and after the bank would have paid withholding tax on the interest the bank gives. Now Khurshid Sattaur, Head of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), has requested that for the past nine years I submit property tax. For those who don’t know, property tax means all assets including furniture, cars, jewellery, homes and bank account." .
