Re: Tax on remittances

This has been mentioned many times previously over the years and nothing has been announced apart from a study. No need to scaremonger.

The fact that it made the front page of a government-backed newspaper yesterday, in an era of collapsed oil prices, is still worthy of note. They're testing the water for reaction at the very least. Otherwise, why stir the masses up needlessly?

Ecuador levy 5% on remittences.
