GSL co-owner declines further comment on $3.8b tax bill

Tony Yassin

Co-owner of Guyana Stores Limited (GSL), Tony Yassin has declined further comment on the $3.8b in taxes owed after a source from the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) said payment will have to be made within 30 days of the recent decision by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).

Stabroek News visited GSL’s headquarters on Water Street on Monday morning for a comment from Yassin about the pronouncement by a source from the GRA that the authority is unlikely to accept anything but full payment.

“Nothing has happened. I have no comment to make on any matter until something happens. We will have to work that out ourselves,” Yassin said, while emphasizing that he did not want to comment on the situation.
