So Government has tax arrears of $864 million plus or for every year since Independence unpaid Tax arrears has been $17.5 million and continues. Can the Financial Secretary assure us that at least since September 2021 all due annual taxes have been collected or are we continuing our merry way adding to the vast total already uncollected? If a Government wishes to suggest it is fiscally prudent then surely collecting of revenue should be high on their to-do list? Let’s hear what percentage annually for 2021 - 2022 -2023 Government has actually collected?

Motor vehicles … let’s save the use of the Police to collect taxes. Road Traffic publish the names and licence numbers and ask those people to contact Road Traffic in 10-days or … guarantee the same day of the advertisement appearing 25 plus percent will be paid and very quickly the balance … 50% of all supposed vehicles are either not licensed or insured...Cause in midst of COVID someone at OPM advised the public no need to pay.
