In his Republic Anniversary address on Tuesday, PNCR Leader Aubrey Norton called for the removal of the personal income tax.
His address said in part:
“The goal of the People’s National Congress Reform is to have a Guyana that is safe and hospitable that gives everyone a chance at pursuing their personal ambitions and achieving the goals that they set for themselves and family.
“A cornerstone of this effort must be the removal of the personal income tax. The PNCR wishes to make it clear that as your government-in-waiting, as part of the Coalition we will remove the burden of personal income tax from our people. We see this as an enduring obligation to you given the current favorable economic circumstances from oil and gas and I assure you that we will not stop working for your safety and security and your economic freedom and prosperity. We believe that this will benefit the Guyanese working people in a direct way”.
