Shuffles, there is no GST on Island Ferry, water taxi to Belize City, Corozal, or any regular scheduled public transportation like busses and air travel.

There is however GST on private chartered water taxi, land taxis and flights. For these services however, they are also able to deduct GST on expenses (fuel-maintenance), which wasn't possible before.

Short, dabunk, exactly my point. Most of the stores are charging 10% at the register. Try it. Buy some beans, canned goods, milk. Take it to the register. See if they charge 10% on the total. I realize there is no GST on the ferry, water taxi, etc. That was my point. When told the price was $14 instead of $10 last week, the boat captain stated that it was due to GST. I know it isnt due to GST, but that seems to be the standard answer everywhere lately.

Well, I am in Punta Gorda and they are not doing it here. Maybe because the expats do not know or complain they get away with it.
