By Zoila Palma: During Thursday’s Sitting of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister John Briceno announced that the Government of Belize will implement 2 more GST-free weekends in January, 2027.
Those are in addition to the GST-free weekends in December.
“In January, we will hold another GST-free weekend on the 23rd and 24th of January 2027. We hope that this will bring some relief to households at the start of the new year. And if you notice, this helps everybody that goes to the store to buy, and all our people need to go and buy at the store,” the PM said.
In addition, the PM said that Government will review the food basket and ensure that some of the items are replaced with healthier foods.
“Some of the products in there are probably not the healthiest of food, so we need to look if there are healthier foods that we can put in that basket and maybe remove those that are not healthy. And we have to expand it a little bit more; we plan to do so,” he added.
