 This week I beg to present for second reading the bill shot the entire Land and House Tax Amendment. Mrs. Speaker, the bill for consideration by this Honourable House is the Land and House Tax Amendment Bill. The primary purpose of this bill, Mrs. Speaker, is to amend the Land and House Tax Act to grant a further extension of the special tax exemption on residential properties. The second aim, Mrs. Speaker, is a waiver of the tax owned on all properties owned and managed by Sport Solution Incorporated. Mrs. Speaker, the Land and House Tax Amendment Act No. 11 of 2017 granted a three-year exemption in residential property owners for the calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019. That was followed, Mrs. Speaker, by the Land and House Tax Amendment Act No. 32 of 2019 and No. 7 of 2021, which provided a waiver of two additional years. The last amendment, the Land and House Tax Amendment Act No. 5 of 2022, provided an extension of the waiver for the calendar year 2022. Mrs. Speaker, this waiver provides a further moratorium of property tax for the year 2023, Mrs. Speaker. Mrs. Speaker, this means that for the years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Mrs. Speaker, all house taxes on residential property has been waived. And you heard me, Mrs. Speaker, the member for Mikusau, talk about this government over taxing people. So, apart from all of our exemptions, apart from the reduction in the tax threshold, we are now ensuring that all house taxes from 2017 will be waived, Mrs. Speaker, including the tax amnesty, including the tax amnesty, Mrs. Speaker, and members and the public will hear what will happen to the tax amnesty during the policy bid next month, Mrs. Speaker. And, Mrs. Speaker, that is a government that's accused of taxing. Why is there a reality in that argument? Taxing. So, now we've waived all house taxes. And what is going to happen? Very soon, the cabinet will have to decide on what is the future of property tax or house taxing solution, Mrs. Speaker. Because people need their garbage cleared, people need their verges cleaned, etc., Mrs. Speaker. And you have to decide what happens, Mrs. Speaker, what happens. But in the meantime, we are saying that we're going to waive it from 2017, Mrs. Speaker. And before we've taken off all the finance, the penalties and interests on these taxes, Mrs. Speaker. So, Mrs. Speaker, that is the reality. And when we speak about reality, and you had a member for, you know, he came out this morning, he accused us of overtaxing the public, and he just walked away, as usual. This is the arrogance and the contempt that the whole of people say, Mrs. Speaker, the arrogance. You come, you accuse, you threaten, and you walk out, and you walk out, Mrs. Speaker. So, Mrs. Speaker, the second part of this motion is taxes owed by sports income, sports income, Mrs. Speaker. And again, further support to the sports people of St. Lucia. So, the Dan Sampground, the Milo Phillip Park, the George Allam Stadium, Mrs. Speaker. And I forgot to tell the member for Vivozal. Some of the loan that we took from the Saudis, Mrs. Speaker, will be used to renovate the George Allam Stadium. And this year, we are going to initiate a consultancy so that the renovations, so we can begin to cost the renovations to the George Allam Stadium. So when St. Jude is completed, sometime soon, we are going to begin the repairs to the George Allam Stadium, Mrs. Speaker, for the people, young people of St. Lucia, Mrs. Speaker. To Mrs. Speaker, I just, I would like members to support it. It's further tax relief to show that this government is not what they want to make it want. The leader of the opposition wants us to believe this is really not a taxing government. It's a government that has given the most tax relief to the people of St. Lucia. And that continues from the last time you were in government. I thank you, Mrs. Speaker.
