Members of the Guyana Women Miners Organization (GWMO) were enlightened on their obligations as taxpayers, and the tax regulations governing the gold mining industry when they met officials of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) for talks yesterday.
Manager of the Tax Advisory Services Division, Naresha Bobb-Semple,
and Tax Specialist, Tyrone Anthony, who hosted the day’s discussion, explained in detail the policies regarding income and property tax, entitlements, aspects of the mining law, the newly-introduced Mortgage Interest Relief (MIR), the legal obligation of every eligible individual having a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and other relevant issues.
According to GRA, the engagement held at its headquarters on Camp Street, ended with President of the GWMO, Simona Broomes, signaling willingness on behalf of her organization to take taxation awareness sessions to miners in the interior locations if the need arises.
“We would love to have more sessions with you (GRA)… We can go out there to the miners and speak in their language, in the camps or wherever they are, both employees and employers about taxes,” Broomes said.
The women miners, GRA said in a release, were candid about the numerous challenges facing small-scale miners and inquired about duty free entitlements for certain capital equipment and whether tax defaulters can be granted amnesty if there is a probable reason.
Yesterday’s meeting followed requests by the GWMO for an audience with the GRA, as they sought clarity and explanation on a number of issues relating to taxation regarding employers and employees.
