Beginning Saturday, some taxpayers on the islands have begun receiving their 2007 tax rebates in the mail.<\/p>\n
This came about after Gov. Benigno R. Fitial approved the release of some $3 million in 2007 tax rebates on Friday.<\/p>\n
The distribution, representing the first batch of 2007 tax rebate payments, will be distributed to 14,000 taxpayers. <\/p>\n
According to Finance Secretary Eloy S. Inos, taxpayers could now pick up their checks in the mail beginning yesterday, while others will get their checks Monday. <\/p>\n
Inos said the government will begin distributing 2007 tax rebate checks regularly, initially beginning every two weeks and then on a weekly basis every Friday.<\/p>\n
Following the complete disbursement of 2007 tax rebates, the government will go back and ensure the full payment of all 2006 and 2005 rebates. <\/p>\n
The issuance of the 2007 tax rebates comes on the heels of the release of some $3 million in 2007 tax refunds last month. <\/p>\n
As with the tax refunds, federal stimulus checks, and child tax credits previously released by the Fitial administration, the governor also expects the tax refund and rebate releases to have a positive effect on local consumers and struggling small businesses. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am very happy we are able to return money back to our taxpayers on a timely basis,\u201d said Fitial.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a high priority,\u201d said the Governor. [B][I](Saipan Tribune)[\/I][\/B]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
