This extension, as announced during Special Sitting of the House of Representatives on October 17, 2025, provides additional time for eligible Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to take advantage of the opportunity to clear outstanding business tax penalties and interest, and to qualify for up to one year of business tax exemption. This will also allow additional time to process outstanding applications from previous Roadshow stops and ensure that all eligible MSMEs receive their Tax Amnesty Certificates.
The next stop for the Roadshow is October 27 in Belmopan at the Belmopan Civic Center.
As part of this extension, the date for three Roadshow locations has been adjusted to accommodate sufficient time for the interested MSMEs:
• November 4 – San Pedro (Lion’s Den)
• November 5 – Caye Caulker (Community Center)
• November 7 – Punta Gorda (St. Peter Claver Parish Hall)
The Government of Belize also takes this opportunity to congratulate the many MSMEs that have already benefited from the programme and taken important steps toward formalization and growth.
