Co-chairman of the Economic Programme Oversight Committee (EPOC), Richard Byles, says that financial year 2016/17 is “off to a good start”.

Byles told yesterday’s EPOC monthly press briefing at Sagicor’s head office in New Kingston that tax revenues have performed well, and was “a big plus for the country”.

“So following upon last fiscal year’s performance, which was good, April, which is like the opening batsman of the team, has performed very well, too,” he said.

He stated that $34 billion was collected in tax revenues, versus a target of $33.8 billion.
