Madam Speaker, I am authorized by Cabinet to make the following statement regarding the implementation of Property Tax in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Government has been making steady progress in the implementation of Property Tax. To this end, we are currently at the stage where Notices of Tax Assessments under the Property Tax Act, have been issued to a number of residential landowners and occupiers. This process commenced in February 2024. Prior to this, Notices of Valuation of Land were issued with that process commencing in November 2023.
