In a significant move to support small businesses, the Government of Belize has announced the extension of the MSME Tax Amnesty Program until December 31, 2025. The decision, confirmed during a Special Sitting of the House of Representatives on October 17, 2025, aims to provide micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with additional time to address outstanding tax liabilities and penalties. Under this program, eligible businesses can clear their dues and even qualify for up to one year of business tax exemption. The extension also ensures that pending applications from previous roadshow stops are processed efficiently, allowing all qualifying businesses to receive their Tax Amnesty Certificates. Government officials are encouraging MSMEs to seize this opportunity to formalize their operations and foster sustainable growth. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to bolstering the small business sector, which plays a vital role in the nation’s economy.
