NATIONAL BROADCAST ON TAX PACKAGE,
TOMORROW (DEC 23) AT 9:00 PM:

Prime Minister Bruce Golding will address the issue of the government's proposed tax package in a national broadcast to be aired on Wednesday, December 23, at 9:00 p.m. on all radio and television stations.

The decision was taken following a series of meetings with members of the Cabinet and a technical team from the Ministry of Finance during which a number of new proposals were discussed.

The meetings were held in the wake of a statement on Sunday in which the Prime Minister said he had heard the cry and appeal of the Jamaican people and their concerns about the proposed new tax measures.
