A WARNING HAS BEEN SENT to dozens of Barbadian professionals who could find themselves in legal trouble or publicly shamed as government continues to struggle to bring an age-old problem under control.
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler said more than 40 per cent of registered members in some unnamed professions persist in flouting the law by not even filing Income Tax.
He put the offenders on notice that they would be taken to the law courts or the court of public opinion.
“It is wrong that those of us who work and get taxes deducted from our salaries and who employ them or deploy them to work on our behalf and expect our salaries to be taxed as payment for their service and they enjoy all of the social services in Barbados free of cost . . .,” he said. (WILLCOMM)
