Another round of tax refunds has been issued, Government House made known during Monday's weekly press briefing.
“The latest round…totals about $17 million,” said Bryan administration communications director, Richard Motta. “It covers individuals who are due an income tax refund for tax years 2021 and prior who have filed…before April 11, 2022.”
Mr. Motta noted that only those whose filings are complete and clear, meaning they are not under audit and not missing any paperwork or subject to other issues, will be processed for refunds in this batch.
For individuals who filed their 2021 or earlier tax returns prior to April 11, 2022, and whose filings are complete and clear, they should have received their income tax refund in the last batch provided there were no issues with their filing, said Motta.
The communications director also alerted the public that the legislation to authorize a land swap between the National Park Service and the Government of the Virgin Islands will come before the Senate on Tuesday. The land swap is necessary to facilitate the building of St. John’s first public school that can accommodate children from pre-K to grade 12.
Motta urged the Virgin Islands community, particularly St. John residents, to voice their opinions during the Senate hearing on July 11. Following the Committee of the Whole's hearing, the Senate is scheduled to vote on the measure on July 20.
Ahead of tomorrow’s hearing, Mr. Motta noted that lawmakers as well as representatives from the Department of Education are touring the proposed school site, as well as Whistling Cay, the uninhabited island being surrendered by the Virgin Islands in exchange.
