The Government of Belize has officially prolonged the MSME Tax Amnesty Programme until December 31, 2025, as revealed during a Special Sitting of the House of Representatives on October 17. This initiative, spearheaded by the Office of the Prime Minister in collaboration with BELTRAIDE, the Investment Policy and Compliance Unit (IPCU), the Belize Tax Service (BTS), the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry (BCCAR), the Economic Development Council (EDC), and the Ministry of Local Government and City and Town Councils, aims to provide small businesses with extended opportunities to benefit from significant tax relief measures. The extension allows eligible Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) additional time to settle outstanding business tax penalties and interest, and to qualify for up to one year of business tax exemption. It also ensures the processing of pending applications from previous Roadshow events, guaranteeing that all qualified MSMEs receive their Tax Amnesty Certificates. The next Tax Amnesty Roadshow event is scheduled for October 27 at the Belmopan Civic Center, with adjusted dates for San Pedro (November 4), Caye Caulker (November 5), and Punta Gorda (November 7) to maximize participation. The Government has commended the numerous MSMEs that have already enrolled in the programme, taking crucial steps toward formalizing and expanding their businesses. For further details, business owners can reach out to BELTRAIDE’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC Belize) at 280-3195 or sbdc@beltraide.bz, or the Investment Policy and Compliance Unit (IPCU) at 880-4728 / 880-4729 or belizeInvestment@invest.gov.bz.
