Budget 2019: Government to pay debts owed to taxpayers

Prime Minister Mia Mottley this evening announced that from July 1 individuals owed personal income tax refunds for years 2011- 2016 will receive up to $1,000 in cash.

She told Parliament eligible taxpayers will have to fill out a simple form on the Barbados Revenue Authority website.

The Prime Minister noted that this one-off payment is expected to cost the Government $39 million, but she stressed that the payment will help to put cash into the pockets of Barbadians and ensure that the Government’s debt reduction targets remain on track.
