The section referred to speaks to “Goods deposited in a State warehouse may be sold.”
It says, “Where under the provisions of this Act any goods are required to be deposited in a State warehouse and such goods are of a perishable nature, then it shall be lawful for the proper officer, notwithstanding such provisions, to sell the same forthwith by public auction; and if such goods though not perishable are of a kind not permitted by any law to be deposited in a State warehouse, it shall be lawful for the proper officer, notwithstanding such law, to sell the same in such manner as the Comptroller may direct after fourteen days’ notice by publication in the Gazette.”
GRA said, “Any person having any lien on the above mentioned goods must forward his/her claims (stating the amount) to the Office of the Commissioner -General, Guyana Revenue Authority, Lots 200-201 Camp Street, Georgetown, not later than one month after this publication.”
