NEW DELHI: Indian government decided $18 million for merging Customs and Excise Department into Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA).
Minister of Finance, Chris Sinckler, said with this major revenue-earning department incorporated into the BRA, it would complete Government’s plan for a single ICT platform from which Government could better manage state receipts.
He told the House of Assembly during the Estimates debate that about $18 million had been provided to help integrate the Customs Department into the BRA.
He added that the administration was also moving ahead with plans to reform a number of state enterprises.
