Buyback
 

This is a buyback program to get people to buy new bikes and to get steel for recycling. China is consuming 150+ tons of steel a day in manufactoring and building.

from gruntdoc's link:
[quote]"Businessmen, tricycle operators negligent in paying taxes
Many businessmen and tricycle operators in Laoag City have not yet paid their quarterly percentage tax for the first quarter of the year.

Revenue district officer Florante Aninag said that these businessmen and tricycle operators have already been served notice so that they could still avoid being forced to pay certain fines.

The taxes for tricycle operators are expected to rise given the rise in minimum fares from P4.00 to P5.00."[quote]

Hmmmmm... Taxes up a whole "p". Bet that pisses them off.
Maybe the P stands for the P.O. level in Chinatown.
New traffic slogan in China: Pay your P's if you wanna keep your knees in the breeze!

i think i am the authority here.two point
1. just as some guys mentioned, these tricycles were used in illegal transport with unlicensed and most of them avoid tax payment.
2. i don't know why govement need to destroyed them completely, but use in other method. i still know how they destroy them.they will be thrown in a machine which is more like the paper cutter in office, and they will be broken to pieces after a few minute.i has seen this machine before in Zhengzhou city, Henan province,China

Ah...the dreaded shredder. Thanks Eric, Happy New Year. :biggrin:

Take away is more like it. Welcome to the Cellar Rob-O. :thumbsup:

Say goodnight, Cap'n. :lol:

goodnight

couldn't (shouldn't) they do something like here when property is seized by the authorities that be it's auctioned off every so often?
[hijack]BTW, anyone been to one of these types of auctions or know what happens to the $$ raised?

If they don't destroy the trikes they will be back on the street and probably half would only pay the initial fee then be outlaws again. Better than the old days when the owner was shredded too. :eek:

Where the auction proceeds go depends on why the goods were seized.

Nothing is illegal in China .. the owners just didn't pay out the right amount to the right officials .. :)
