A world-renowned economics professor is calling on Government to facilitate a new tax arrangement with the United States. Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who is the Director of the Centre for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, says this move will allow the US to remit part of the income tax earned by Caribbean nationals working in the US. While he notes it's a complicated topic, he suggest this needs to be one of the highest priorities as it will increase the coffers for the Caribbean economies. He was delivering the 37th Adlith Brown Memorial Lecture virtually as part of the 55th Annual Monetary Studies Conference. Professor Sachs says in an economy where a very significant portion of workers are spending part or all of their working lives working in foreign territories, the tax system - payroll and income tax - needs to be a universal base to collect tax wherever those incomes are earned.

Minister of the State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Davidson Ishmael says the amendments of the Health Services Bill do not set out to be punitive. He says they only come into play if citizens do not take personal responsibility for the clearing of their land/ properties, and there's no need to fear the legislation. Mr. Ishmael was among the Joint Select Committee of Parliament on Social Sector and the Environment that met to review the amended Bill. Meanwhile, Chairman of the Waste Haulers Association Anderson Cherry says the more money spent on clearing overgrown lots in this country, the more revenue will be gained in Government coffers.
