The Value Added Tax (VAT) Implementation Project Team in collaboration with the SLHTA conducted a consultative session for members on the policies to guide the VAT System. The VAT Implementation Project Team was established by Cabinet in October 2008.  The gathering was held on Wednesday 9^th December from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Rex St. Lucian Conference Room.  The primary purpose of the meeting served to educate and prepare members on the implementation of VAT by providing valuable information while trying to obtain members’ views on the content of the VAT White Paper.  Major decisions and transitional issues are being considered by policy makers.  A brief presentation on the VAT System was made by the VAT Implementation Project Team followed by open discussion and input from participants.  Specific proposals and suggestions from the floor were welcomed.
