Hi! We have been in the industry on Tourism & accommodation for almost 10 years. For this year, when we are paying for the renewal of our permit, we are suddenly stopped, and required our books.
We asked them why, as it is new to us, and we might be late in the renewal, they told us that it was required by your department.
Can I have a memo or any explanation for this sudden action by our municipality regarding this? Just to erase in our minds that we are targeting personally cause we have some issues re lands. Thank you!
