When asked about that earlier this week at a SPCC meeting, a well-known PUP leader gave this answer:

Question: My son bought a ticket to Belize for $279 but the taxes and fees added on to the ticket by Belize doubled the cost. What should Belize do to lower taxes on travel?

Mr. Briceno: Taxes make up 70% of the revenue of Belize. The tax
structure must be looked at. Most of the taxes are consumption tax and business taxes. A small number of businesses are paying most of the taxes. There needs to be a broader base, the system needs to be computerized and all taxes need to be collected. This would result in more revenue and there could be a reduction in taxes.

What was the question again???
