In an article published in Guyana Chronicle Wednesday February 15, 2017 Edition under the headline “Banks DIH hikes prices for Beverages” it was implied that the beverage company has arbitrary raised the prices of its beverage products when in fact it did not.
The $10 increase on beverage in non-returnable bottles is as a result of the imposition of the Environmental Levy. The company merely facilitates the collection of this Levy which is transmitted to the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
