Antigua and Barbuda Announces Amnesty on Utility bills, Property Taxes, Medical Bills – CARICOM Business

Antigua and Barbuda has announced an amnesty for persons “still struggling” to deal with the financial impact of COVID19.

According to a post–Cabinet statement, residential customers owing the Antigua Public Utilities (APUA) for electricity and water, who are in arrears before and up to December 31, 2021, will have their debts to APUA forgiven.
“Customers who pay the current month’s obligation, benefiting from this amnesty, will be reconnected by November 1st 2022,” the statement said, adding that unpaid property taxes up to December 31, 2021 will also benefit from an amnesty programme, provided they pay the current year’s
tax.

“Residents and citizens with outstanding hospital bills, owed to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, & in arrears for more than 180 days, will have their balance forgiven.”
