Finance Minister Colm Imbert has announced that an extension to the deadline for the payment of property tax will be announced next week.
Imbert made the revelation in the Parliament this afternoon.
“Consideration is being given to an extension of time and on Monday the extended date will be announced,” he said.
The Minister also clarified that the procedures for the payment of property tax are not limited to cash. He said people can pay by personal cheques, managers’ cheques and Linx ( BIR head office in Port of Spain and regional office in San Fernando).
He also said by the end of October the BIR (Board of Inland Revenue) will be able to accept payments by ACH bank transfers and credit cards.
