BRA Set to Auction 27 Properties
(Bridgetown, December 12, 2023) The Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA) will place twenty-seven (27) properties on the auction block during a 2-day auction at Sky Mall, Haggatt Hall on December 13 and 15, 2023, in response to Land Tax non-compliance up to ten years.
The upcoming auctions follow a ‘Notice of Sale’ advertisement issued by the Authority on November 12, 2023, for 44 properties with outstanding Land Tax of over $12.4 million.
Revenue Commissioner Louisa Lewis-Ward urged property owners who owe Land Tax to address their arrears or ensure they communicate with the BRA to avoid their properties going on a ‘Notice of Sale’ list.
“We know that the COVID-19 pandemic still has lingering impacts on our economy, affecting households and businesses. Our aim is not to take land or property from anyone. The auctions are a last resort. However, in addition to the annual tax demand notices, we sent correspondence detailing Land Tax arrears to property owners to ensure they know their amounts owed and the payment plans available,” she shared.
Lewis-Ward further implored persons having challenges with bringing their Land Tax accounts up to date, whether financial or otherwise, to reach out to the BRA to make an official arrangement to avoid losing their properties.
Taxpayers with arrears for any tax can call 429-ETAX(3829) or email settletax@bra.gov.bb with the details.
