300 items escape NSRL

Article by GERALYN EDWARD

The 300 items are currently found in the basket of goods that do not attract value added tax (VAT).

The development was announced yesterday following meetings the minister held with officials of the Barbados Private Sector Association, Barbados Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI), Barbados Bankers’ Association, Barbados International Business Association and the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) over the past two days. (GE)
