School books being held "hostage"

August 15th, 2008 at 11:13 pm

The books the school ordered from the US back in May have to pay about $2K in taxes, something that has never happened before (1. they are books. Books are now tax exempt. Or were, at least until the beginning of this year. 2. They are for a school, again, that should make them tax exempt, or at least tax deferred- don't aske me to describe the way our VAT operates, it's really strange, or so I'm told!)...Anyway, the school is trying to solve the problem and, in the meantime, children should bring their old textbooks....oops, I don't know if Ale still has them in one piece (she refuses to throw them away, but she likes to cut out pictures and stuff!)

    How frustrating! They need a tax law to stick to, not change around! Especially when it comes to children!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles Frown
    On a completely unrelated note...my son wants to earn his language/culture loop, would you mind sharing a couple traditional games from El Salvador?
