Belize's PM criticizes tax enforcement after entrepreneur jailed 24 hours for $200K tax debt.
Belize's Prime Minister John Briceno expressed concern over entrepreneur Andrew Munnings' tax dispute, which led to his brief jail time after failing to pay approximately $200,000 in taxes.
Munnings, who runs a funeral services business, is accused of not reporting all income from his services.
The Tax Service Department said it offered multiple payment plans and waivers but Munnings did not comply with court-ordered payments.
The Prime Minister stressed the need for fairness, independence in tax enforcement, and urged businesses to restructure if facing tax issues.
Munnings, released after 24 hours in jail, thanked supporters and his lawyer, planning to resolve the matter further through civil channels.
