Chief Justice Roxane George on Tuesday ruled against the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), quashing its requirement to question the source of funding used by a remigrant applying for a duty-free concession on a land cruiser. The Chief Justice deemed the GRA’s actions unlawful, ordering the immediate release of the vehicle and the granting of tax exemptions.
Tiana Cole provides more details on the ruling, its implications for remigrants, and how it could impact the administration of duty-free concessions moving forward.
