CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC-Leader of the Opposition Stephenson King has written to Prime Minister Kenny Anthony, concerning the long-standing issue of Value Added Tax (VAT) on medication.
In a letter, King brought to the attention of the prime minister the number of citizens who complain about their inability to purchase medication in a timely manner due to the additional burden brought on by the tax.
According to King, St Lucians are experiencing a period of “double-suffering” by experiencing the pain of their various ailments and experiencing the difficulty and stress that comes with being unable to meet the exorbitant costs of their medicines.
