Privy Council upholds Trinidad and Tobago's Revenue Authority constitutionality, allowing it to replace existing divisions.

The Privy Council has upheld the constitutionality of Trinidad and Tobago's Revenue Authority (TTRA), allowing it to replace the Customs and Excise Division and Inland Revenue Division. This decision dismisses a challenge from the Public Services Association, which raised concerns about employee rights. The TTRA aims to enhance revenue collection and address a $10 billion tax gap, while safeguarding staff from political interference.
