Barbados Today July 5, 2021
As the Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA) has started issuing the land tax bills for the financial year 2021-2022, property owners are reminded that electronic payment channels are available for paying land tax.
The Authority is encouraging persons to make use of the digital options which offer convenience, rather than standing in a queue.
These options include ezpay.gov.bb, SurePay, the Cave Shepherd Mobile App and the online banking platforms of First Citizens, First Caribbean and Scotiabank.
Overseas-based property owners can remit their land tax payments via wire transfer. For this option, taxpayers should ensure that the transfer information includes the Map Reference number and the year to which the payment is to be applied.

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE proposed US$797 million sale of First Caribbean operations to the Gilinski Group out of Colombia has been withdrawn after it did not receive the necessary approvals from regulators in the region.
Announcement of the withdrawal was made Tuesday (Feb. 2) morning by the parent company of First Caribbean, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
In 2019, it was announced that the GNB Financial Group Limited moved to purchase majority stake in FCIB - 66.73 percent of the share in the regional entity for $797 million, pending the necessary approvals from regulators in the region.
CIBC in a media statement disclosed that the “previously announced transaction to sell a significant portion of its majority stake in CIBC FirstCaribbean ( FirstCaribbean ) to GNB Financial Group Limited did not receive approval from FirstCaribbean s regulators”.
