Transfer Grant Increases Approved under Circular 39 of 2025 dated 6^th June 2025.

The PSU is pleased to announce another important win for not just our members, but for ALL public officers. Through persistent advocacy and negotiations, the PSU has secured an increase in the Transfer Grant as outline in Circular Memorandum No. 39 of 2025 as follows:

Interdistrict – $1,200.00 to $1,500.00
Intradistrict – $600.00 to $900.00

The new rates take effect retroactively, ALL public officers who were transferred during the period 2021 to 2024 can benefit from the revised rates. This is a direct result of our Collective Bargaining Agreement.

This achievement reflects the strength of collective action and our ongoing commitment to protecting and advancing the rights and benefits of all public officers. For more details, contact your Branch Chair or the PSU Office. #SolidarityForever #PSUBelize #NegotiationPower #CBA #JUNT

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING AGENDA

BZ$640 million Dollar – Write-Off

Admin — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 22:42:37 +0000

The Director General of Belize Tax Services Department has stated recently that BZ$640 million dollars of tax arrears will or is about to be written off from the Private Sector because it is statute bar. Why is this happening?
Whenever I owe taxes, I am forced to pay and my income is leaned on and I must pay my owed taxes? Why is the private sector so special?

These are the information that should be published:

(1) We all need to know the names of all those Company that owed taxes that are being written off;
(2) The amount of funds that are written off for each Company;
(3) What will be put in place that this does not happened again?
(4) Why does the law makes these debts statute bar, when the rest of us do not have this luxury?

We need to address this issue now. Some pigs are always more equal than others.

PSU needs to be ready for this issue given that as of now we have given up 15% of our income already without negotiation and compensation.
