There have been speculations as to how dancehall superstar Bounty Killer has
been managing over the past couple of weeks since the Tax Administration
Department seized his two luxury vehicles.
On August 28, the Tax Administration Department seized a Range Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser from the artiste, whose real name is Rodney
Pryce, because he was said to owe millions in taxes.
But there are still no updates as to whether or not any progress is being made on the case, and if there is any hope of the vehicles being
returned to him.
“It’s really an accounting matter. I can’t tell you what is happening at this stage,” said Bounty Killer’s attorney Linda Wright.
Adding, “I met with them and the accountant when it just happened and I guess they took it from there.”
His manager Julian Jones-Griffiths could not be reached for a comment on the matter.
However, a source close to the camp said nothing has changed with his situation but negotiations are ongoing. The source also noted that
Bounty had been managing well without the vehicles.
Meanwhile, another source claims to have spotted the entertainer going into and driving off in a heavily-tinted champagne coloured Toyota
Corolla (Kingfish) recently.
In an earlier interview Wright said her client did file his annual returns, and paid monies to the tax department. She also said that the
tax department assessed Bounty Killer for much more than he had paid and
the artiste objected.
In July, the Tax Department also seized a Mercedes Benz motor vehicle from the home of dancehall star ‘Elephant Man’ whose real name is Oneil
Bryan.
Grammy award-winning deejay, ‘Beenie Man’, whose real name is Moses Davis, was also hauled before the tax court in 2008 for allegedly owing
millions of dollars in taxes.
