BRADES, Montserrat July 7th, 2011 – Chief Minister, the Hon. Reuben Meade said Thursday that the Government is prepared to start court proceedings against persons who have outstanding income tax payments.
“

One this two month grace period is over, we are ready to take people to court,” the chief minister, who also is the Minister of Finance said.

A tax negotiator has been hired to encourage persons owing taxes to work out payment plans that can help to bring in the $22 million in monies owed to the government treasury.

Persons are being urged to contact the Inland Revenue Department to settle their arrears or make arrangements for repayment by calling 491-2463 or 491-3211.

 “All persons concerned are advised to capitalize on this final opportunity to settle their outstanding Income Tax arrears,” a community announcement says. After August 31, 2011, the Inland Revenue will be launching court cases against debtors.
