Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley says there is no justification for changing the Value Added Tax at this time.
Speaking at a public meeting at The Glebe in St. George, the Prime Minister quoted from the Democratic Labour Party’s leaked manifesto, warning that a reduction of VAT to 15 percent would have serious negative consequences.
She stressed that such a move would hurt the Barbados economy, arguing that lowering VAT at this stage is neither practical nor responsible.
