GOVERNMENT IS PUSHING ahead with its plan to merge the Customs and Excise Department into the Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA).
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler said with this major revenue-earning department incorporated into the BRA, it would complete Government’s plan for a single ICT platform
from which Government could better manage state receipts.
He told the House of Assembly yesterday during the Estimates debate that about $18 million had been provided to help integrate the Customs Department into the BRA.
He added that the administration was also moving ahead with plans to reform a number of state enterprises. (GE)
