The annual fees for gun licences and dealerships are to be hiked as part of government’s planned measures to enhance revenue.
This was announced on Friday by Finance Minister Winston Jordan, who said Section 19 of the Firearms Act is to be amended to increase the annual fee for firearm licences.
In addition, Jordan said a raft of legislation would be amended to increase the fees paid to obtain various other licences, including regulations under the Auctioneer Act; regulations under the Hucksters Licencing and Control Act; regulations under Miscellaneous Licences Act; regulations made under the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act; regulations made under the Rice Factories Act; and regulations made under the Tax Act.
