Comment: I hope he use these months to reflect on his life and choose another path that involves being a good father to his kids, cus "boys in danger."

Comment: Min. Skerritt, the objecctive of these countries is to keep their monies in Europe. This tax is to disuade tourists from taking these long haul vacations that way they will take vacations in their back yard. We in Sk moarning about the VAT but if we only examine the taxes that other countries have to pay we would see that we too have to play our part to get our country out of debt so that we would not be so vulnerable when tourists do not come.

Comment: The question begs to be asked. Why won't the Bank's chairman or the Minister of Finance make a statement or give an explanation?

Comment: You say 'most passengers came ashore'. Give us the actual numbers! You must have them. I wonder how many of them spent ANY money and how many spent more than US$6.00 buying a Tee shirt? How many we could have on tours ? How many Taxi drivers? We cannot provide tours for more than about 1000. I suspect that most of those passengers that come off walk round Port Zante and the Circus and head back on board for lunch without spending a dime. Stop mamagising us.

Comment: Retirement ? ? Not me, not here in St.Kitts. I will not be able to afford to retire. I cannot save an my wage, since it has not gone up in 5 years. Now with VAT, I have 17% LESS money to spend. RETIRE ? ? Is sick joke you making? I going have to work till I dead, plus some to pay for the VAT on my coffin.

Comment: Can somebody remind the PM that the New year starts immediately after midnight on the31 December and NOT on January 2nd. So it is not possible to 'ring in the new year' at his gala. I for one will not be going. I cannot afford the cost especially now with VAT on it.

Comment: I'm disappointed in this article. It will negatively impact investment into St. Kitts and Nevis, even if it is true. Such an article would never make the press in Barbados, because there even the opposition cares more about the stability of the country than simply getting into power after messing up its international image. Even if it is true (and I suspect it's been politically skewed and sensationalized) such grim pictures should NEVER be painted about a country seeking investment.
