The Georgetown Mayor and City Council will be discussing with members of the private sector a $25,000 container tax which the council says has already been implemented.
This is according to Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Eddie Boyer and President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Vishnu Doerga.
Town Clerk Royston King told Stabroek News yesterday that businesses unloading containers in the city are already being charged $25,000 for the privilege of using the collectively owned space that is the city parapets.
