Govt. comfortable paying oil companies’ taxes but runs after struggling broadcasters

Jul 17, 2021 News

Kaieteur News – The Guyana Government is paying the taxes for oil companies but appears comfortable going after local broadcasters struggling to make ends meet in a COVID-19 environment.
This is evident through the actions of the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA), which on Thursday published the names of several broadcasters who have failed to pay their Broadcast Licence Fees, including the State media.
The agency in a public missive said it “has been very patient and lenient,” but continues to face an arduous task of obtaining its fees from cable, radio, and television broadcasters. This notwithstanding, GNBA continues to face an arduous task of obtaining Broadcast Licence Fees.”
As such, GNBA said it wishes to highlight the financially non-compliant broadcasters and has since published a list of all the defaulting companies.
“Importantly, be reminded that GNBA is empowered to take action against delinquent broadcasters. We are therefore requesting that the broadcasters listed below honour their obligations at the earliest,” GNBA said.

Below is the list of names published:
