"An administrative glitch."

That is how Minister of Finance Ryan Straughn has described unexpected increases on the 2026-2027 land tax bills received by owners of residential properties valued at more than $450,000.

During a media briefing this morning at the Barbados Revenue Authority's Weymouth headquarters, Minister Straughn provided detailed information about the issue.

He explained that the amounts recorded on the bills resulted from technical errors during the process.

He asked those affected for their patience and understanding as the corrective process, which has already begun within the Ministry of Finance and the Barbados Revenue Authority, continues.
