VAT free day later this month, says new PM

VINCENTIANS will have one day this month when they will not pay Value Added Tax (VAT) on their purchases.

This was announced on Monday, December 1, 2025 by Prime Minister, Dr Godwin Friday, shortly after arriving for his first day of work at the Financial Complex, in the capital, Kingstown.
