In a bid to ease the financial burden on Belizeans amid rising living costs, Prime Minister John Briceño has announced the introduction of tax-free weekends scheduled for December. The initiative, which will waive the General Sales Tax (GST) on specific dates, aims to provide relief to families as they prepare for the holiday season. The tax-free periods are set for December 6-7 and December 20-21, coinciding with payday cycles to maximize consumer spending power.
