By Zoila Palma: Cabinet has approved an increase in the GST exemption threshold for residential electricity customers, raising the monthly threshold from $100 to $200, effective September 1, 2026.
The measure is expected to provide direct relief to more than 91,000 residential customers, representing approximately 96 percent of all residential electricity customers in Belize.
The $100 exemption threshold had been in place since April 1, 2017, when it was lowered by the then United Democratic Party administration.
Cabinet’s latest decision effectively doubles the amount of residential electricity consumption covered by the GST exemption.
