The Government of Belize has announced an extension of the MSME Tax Amnesty Programme, providing small business owners with additional time to settle their tax obligations and benefit from financial relief. The programme, now extended until December 31, 2025, offers micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) the opportunity to clear outstanding business tax penalties and interest while qualifying for up to one year of tax exemption. This extension aims to ensure that all eligible businesses can process their applications and receive their Tax Amnesty Certificates. The government has also adjusted the schedule for upcoming roadshow sessions to facilitate this process. The San Pedro session will now be held on November 4 at the Lion’s Den, followed by Caye Caulker on November 5 at the Community Center, and Punta Gorda on November 7 at the St Peter Claver Parish Hall. Businesses seeking assistance can contact BELTRAIDE’s Small Business Development Center or the Investment Policy and Compliance Unit. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to supporting small businesses and fostering economic recovery.
