Prime Minister Browne Promises Amendment Following Farmer’s Tax Concerns
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has responded to a farmer’s query regarding tax obligations for farming enterprises, promising to address the issue at the upcoming cabinet meeting.
During a recent call-in segment on the Browne and Browne show, the farmer raised concerns about conflicting information regarding the payment of the Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT) by farming enterprises.
“Two weeks ago you mentioned that the farming Enterprises do not pay the UBT
unincorporated business tax. But I spoke to someone at Inland Revenue
Department this week to pay and they said that it is not the case,” the farmer asked.
In response, Prime Minister Browne stated, “Farmer Brown will be asking for an amendment as far as I’m concerned, I was not supposed to pay any taxes, period, period okay, we go back, so we’ll address that at cabinet next Wednesday.”
The Prime Minister’s statement indicates his intention to seek an amendment regarding the tax obligations of farming enterprises.
He expressed a firm stance on the matter, emphasizing that he believes farming enterprises should not be subjected to taxes.

I can agree with that statement at this time. Farming needs to be established more first.
Hasn’t Gassssston got a farming business?
Ah how we so gullible so? Can’t people see through this self-served and self-enrichment Prime Minister?
Would he be extolling the virtues of tax-free farming if he wasn’t involved himself.
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WAKE-UP!
However, if the Prime Minister exempts himself from this tax-free proposal and pays tax, then I’ll believe he has the hardworking Antiguan farmers at heart.
LET’S SEE SHALL WE …
BTW, on this farming topic where are:
JP; GILES; Tenman; Dave Ray; Chupes; Bluddy Bloke; ERIC (THE RED); FERN; OTTO; Curious; Fitzroy; Nomad; @ .; and the recent return from hibernation @ From The Sideline?
There are some topics these Gastonites and ABLP sycophants always shy away from when the Prime Minister has been caught in the Antiguan “cookie” jar.
BWOI, AGAIN MI HAFFI LAUGH 😂
The PM is only agreeing to this tax waiver because he has a farm so it benefits him. Wake up people! I am just waiting for an excuse from a laborite …….wait for it…
There we go again, he’s smack in the middle of benefitting again. He had never thought of it in all those years previous to owning a farm, even though this isn’t the first complaint from farmers but this concern from the farmer was really timely, similar to the reduction in water rates that only he and the Banjo man knew of.
Mmmm. Farmer Browne
This is ONLY because, said #Farmer_Browne CEO of BROWNE & SONS, LLC has already put the necessary infrastructure(s) in place, such as light, roads and water; and, labour(Chinese Visa Free Workers)to this subsidiary, of the Browne Conglomerate.
It’s now smooth sailing for #Farmer_Browne!
It would be nice to know, how many contractual agreements his farm and food processing operations have with Hotels and these private billionaires living on the island.
Tenman the Chameleon of many HUGHES, your puppet master is one of the best #coggers! It wouldn’t be too surprising, if Farmer_Browne isn’t somehow involved in growing Medicinal_Marijuana too!
The license(s) to grow HEMP male and FEMALE, MUST be amended to benefit ALL. This five or whatever trees and whatever cured amount of the female cannabis plant is ABSURD, RIDICULOUS and DISCRIMINATORY!
The #Parasitic_Trait of HUEman behaviour on full display!

I honestly did not know he owns a farm in Antigua and Barbuda. He told me he cannot help me by simply requesting for my applications to be decided expeditiously because it is a matter of national interest and bloggers are now saying he is helping his privately owned entity to not pay taxes? Is this what you people are conveying to me?
@my way of helping…go ahead! Check to ESE of Pares Village.
#Farmer_Brown was recently advertising his #broccoli[requires cool conditions with a fair amount of water supply, even if the process is set hydroponically], green peppers harvest and Hog/Pig Farm.
Who knows what is being produced on that farm.
The Chinese will definitely, be adding to their agricultural land stock, no doubt; and, one of the MOU recently signed with the People’s Republic of China to allow the Chinese, to enter Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA, VISA FREE!
You can do both, of your “qualitative and quantitative” methodology[s], to determine where such things will take the Nation, but one thing is certain, this is like the HOSTILE TAKEOVER, of GREEDY, PARASITIC, CONGLOMERATES of small businesses which had held their own with little, to no government assistance!
I know you’re aware of the MONSANTO MODEL of controlling the food industry, in America through their systematic destruction of small farmers.
Bill Gates and his farming conglomerate buying thousands of acres of arable farmland, in America.
As the saying goes, those who control your food will definitely control your destiny. No scientific study is needed, nor warranted for this fact, and it’s not a #conspiracy either.

how convenient that suddenly farmers should not pay any taxes just to suit yourself when you never gave a dam about farmers before you acquired all that land in some shady way to build your farm
Gaston “Ferdinand Marcos” Browne. The more you have the more you want. You are into farming. You would be getting that tax break. Just remember the demise of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos.
