The Customs and Excise Department, in its year-end report on Revenue Collection in 2023, noted that discretionary waivers exceeded the deficit amount which the government financed by borrowing.
The discontinuation of the waivers is premised on filling the gap between revenues and expenditures, which must be undertaken to reduce the borrowings by the government.

Well Lawd, ah only poor people Gaston hab Trang fa?
What happen to all them people and businesses that get concessions for year and years? Free everything! Building materials, equipment, tools, appliances, furnishings, furniture, uniforms, cutlery, plates, towels, gym equipment, computer equipment, security equipment, golf carts, all this and more while poor people catching hell. When will this insanity stop 🛑, when will Gaston stand up for the masses and tap kiss the 🫏 of the rich and powerful? WHEN? Antiguans need to wake up and understand what is going on. That $400+Million collected at customs is probably $200M short, if only he will stop giving away our revenue to his friends in high places. SMH 🤦🏾♂️
It is widely reported that -The most expensive supermarket by far does not pay any taxes! WHY
You already know why. Everybody knows
But apparently a free turkey is all it takes for everybody to turn a blind eye.
All pigs are equal, just some pigs are more equal than others
This is likely the tenth time we hear this, then as usual nothing happens. These businesses donate money so that ABLP can fool the electorate again. He has to give them what they want else, they will just ” Harold Lovell” him. He fraid that.
They could consider continuing them for first time buyers only or something like that.
Like most Black leaders he is now a rich man , so it’s time to kick down the ladder.

You cannot solve a problem without first looking at it in an honest way. The problem of discretionary concessions is two fold… legal and illegal. It is the later, the illegal waivers that need a close look at because it is a criminal act that deserve punitive attention. Let me be clear…there is a particular tax that does have any provisions for discretionary waivers neither by the minister or the CABINET. You cannot engage in illegal waivers taxes for years… cheating the treasury of hundreds of millions of dollars and just get away with it by just stopping…no way.
I AM CALLING FOR A FULL AUDIT INTO THE GRANTING OF CONCESSIONS …PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO VEHICLES. AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE ILLEGAL WAIVERS BE MADE PUBLIC. CHARGES BE BROUGHT AGAINST THOSE PERSONS WHO FACILITATED THE CRIMINAL ACTS AND STATUTORY MEASURES BE PUT INPLACE TO PREVENT THE REOCCURENCE THEREOF
Dion Pelle, you are dreaming that a corrupt government would open its books to anyone.
Try voting them out, enough is enough!
The food vouchers been ABST exempt and targeted a epicurean supermarket mean that they will be redeem with the government as continued duty free concession for that same st Phillips north MP businesses. A tricking of the populace.
