GSD demands payment of tax rebates

The GSD has called on the Gibraltar Government to pay millions of pounds in outstanding tax rebates.

During the recent budget debate in Parliament the GSLP Government revealed that approximately £30m was owed to individuals and companies in tax rebates.

“This is a debt owed by Government yet a provision to pay only £10 million has been made in this year’s estimate,” GSD leader Daniel Feetham said.

“This means that £20,000,000 will not be paid to those who are owed that money right now.”

“What is the point of the Government boasting about a surplus of £38 million when it owes the general public £30 million?”

“Mr Picardo should stop spending money on luxuries, including his plush offices, and should pay people what his Government owes.”
