Its introduction by government as part of a number of initiatives such as 30 per cent tax rebate on income tax for hotels and restaurants, suspension of quarterly income tax instalment payments for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2021 for small businesses among others by government, was to cushion the effects of the pandemic on the citizenry and businesses.

Following its passage into law, the Waiver of Penalty and Interest Act, 2021, grants a waiver of penalty and interest on accumulated tax arrears up to the end of December 2020 for persons who make arrangements with the GRA for payment of the principal tax by December 2021.

Persons who qualify for the waiver according to the GRA are those who:

  • Have not previously registered with GRA
  • Have registered with the Authority but
    • have not submitted returns or
    • in arrears for the submission of returns
    • or in arrears for the payment of taxes

Deadline for the application for the waiver of penalty and interests on tax arrears ended September 30, 2021.
