This is a lot for a small government with no natural resources to give up. Please stop living in a bubble. Now where is this $52.5 million is going to come from TO PUT BACK in the government coffers to offset the budget ?? So lets see now could it be a hike in the Communication Tax ? If it is St Lucians will pay more for cellphone use and cable service. Utilities Tax on Light and water a government favorite. The Petroleum Tax ha ha ha, cooking gas , diesel and gasoline, kerosene for poor people high gas prices higher taxi fares need I say more. Import levy on appliances, mattress, ect, as if that’s not too high already thanks to The Courts and S&S Lobbyist . Rum and Cigarette Tax . Increase landing fees ?? More to land more to come down need I say more finish the puzzle. Hotel and Resort Tax more to come more to stay need I say more finish the puzzle (make this mistake and run Uncle Butch just try it). Increase on food import because Lucians refuse to grow what they need and eat what they grow. The poor and working poor St Lucian will hardly feel the relief of this reduction if any at all they are the ones who pay never Allen and his CLIQUES. Heeeee he open his mouth too quick. He did not add the Trump Factor and the market falling already you know what they say when America sneeze what happen to us in the Caribbean.
