INCREASE IN INCOME TAX THREHOLD

The People’s Progressive Party welcomes government’s decision to increase the Income Tax threshold. This is another attempt by the PPP/Civic administration to give people greater disposable incomes. This has come at a time when the price of many essential commodities have been rising internationally and on the local market.

The PPP/C government has once again displayed its deep concern for working people in seeking to cushion the effects of increase in prices for commodities that are exogenous to the administration’s control.

The PPP is sure that as the economy improves more measures would be taken to enhance the position of the Guyanese people.
