As the back-to-school season approaches, an Inland Revenue Department (IRD) official advises the public to capitalize on the government’s Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax (ABST) relief.
The government has waived ABST for essential school items from September 1st to 2nd, mirroring holiday reductions.
Jermaine Jarvis, IRD’s Deputy Commissioner, acknowledges that the initiative may see limited participation due to prior shopping.
Some parents deem the offer belated. Meanwhile, St Kitts and Nevis is also providing relief by issuing 250 EC$ vouchers to commemorate its 40th anniversary of political independence.

While this is a good initiative it seems as though the PM is out of touch with reality. Most persons would have shopped prior to this not 2 days before school opens. It is as though he did not really want to give it.

I guess now it’s official, we are bac in a partial silly season, these afterthoughts will arise
Kelvin (Shugy ) Simon , in his budget presentation suggested this . It will appear that at that time it was not a good enough proposal. Now we see that it was a brilliant idea , so sorry it was not promoted earlier .
Late much? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
