Officials from telecommunications company Digicel have told Prime Minister Gaston Browne that the company does not owe any corporate taxes to the government.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Prime Minister met today for about one hour with the Chief Executive Officer Dwayne Tulloch and the Sales Director of Digicel Clement Samuel.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from the government, three officials held substantive discussions regarding the issue of taxes, set-offs, and closer collaboration between the private firm and the Government.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“The Digicel officials indicated that the corporate tax set-off agreement has ended and that all taxes are fully paid-up,” the statement said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Digicel CEO said however that there is an existing set-off agreement between APUA and Digicel, dating back to 2012, which has 18 months left before it expires.<\/p>\n

Recently, the prime minister called on Digicel and competitor Flow to pay what they owe or leave the country.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The prime minister is now praising Digicel for its good corporate citizenship, saying that whatever issues exist can be resolved.<\/p>\n

Flow has not commented publicly on the matter.<\/p>
