The Public Services Association (PSA) has condemned Finance Minister Colm Imbert’s decision to operationalize the Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority (TTRA), calling it a “flagrant violation.” PSA President Leroy Baptiste stated that letters were sent to Board of Inland Revenue (BIR) and Customs and Excise Division (CED) staff on June 25, disregarding a Court of Appeal’s limited stay order. On June 11th, the court temporarily halted the TTRA’s operationalization until September 25th, citing administrative ease and justice.
