MINISTER of finance Chris Sinckler says he cannot give a definitive answer yet on whether Barbadians will get a tax ease during the scheduled April Budget.

Questioned directly on the matter after a tour of the new offices of the Financial Services Commission at Building No. 4, Harbour Industrial Park, St Michael, yesterday, Sinckler said it would “depend on the circumstances”.

He told the media the island was in a fiscal consolidation period, where citizens had been asked to keep faith and bear some of those measures implemented and which were extended for another year.
