The Board of the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture invites you to an engagement with the Ministry of Finance on the measure announced in the 2023/24 Budget Statement of a 2.5% Tax on all goods and services (except food items).
The two and a half hour meeting will take place on Tuesday 6th June 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the 5th Floor the Financial Service Center, Point Seraphine, Castries.
Members are invited to register using the link below, as this is a member’s only meeting and will take place face to face.
This dialogue is part of the Chamber’s engagement policy as we seek to inter alia;
(1) To better understand GOSL Policy Intentions and Implementation Strategy,
(2) Increase members understanding of government policy measures, so they can better assess the impact of the same on the business,
(3) Facilitate member contribution to the policy dialogue particularly where the business community will be impacted,
(4) To make recommendations on policy, implementation and monitoring, as part of the private public sector partnership,
(5) To facilitate the Chamber in better understanding members views, needs and interest regarding the business environment thus strengthening the Chamber’s ability to represent those interest.
The Chamber wishes to be well prepared for this meeting and be aware a priori of concerns and questions of members on the subject, therefore allowing the Chamber to forward the information to the Ministry beforehand. This would also assist us in collating and submitting the information in writing following the meeting.
Please complete the attached questionnaire and return with your registration form.
Yours Sincerely,
Brian Louisy
Executive Director
St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture
