A remigrant who was embroiled in a dispute for over a year with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) over his application for a duty-free concession finally got his day in court with the judge ruling in his favour.

At the High Court yesterday, Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George struck down and quashed the requirements imposed by the GRA that a remigrant who had applied for a duty-free concession for his new Toyota Land Cruiser, provide the source of funds for the vehicle’s purchase.

This is according to a release issued on behalf of the remigrant.
