It has now been confirmed that the 2019 Budget of the Government of Anguilla will be presented in the House of Assembly on Wednesday March 20, at 2.00pm.
The 2019 Appropriation Bill, 2019, incorporating the estimates of recurrent revenue, recurrent expenditure and capital expenditure, will be introduced in the House by the Honourable Chief Minister and Minister of Finance, Mr. Victor Banks. The Bill will be given its first reading.
He will then proceed to deliver the Budget Address and some of the Government’s policy decisions. The second and third readings of the Bill and the debate were scheduled for Thursday and Friday, March 21 and 22, respectively.
The Budget is normally presented towards the end of the year but was delayed this year while certain matters were being discussed between the United Kingdom Government and the Government of Anguilla.
No new taxes have been announced apart from, perhaps, some increases within the existing tax structure.
