Overview of measure
In addition, the Government should consider whether incentives should be made available to support
employers so that they can retain their pre-Covid 19 staffing and wage levels and ultimately, reduce the risk of
significant furloughed and / or terminated employees. As the Government would be aware, a reduction in the
overall employee earning levels directly results in an erosion of the taxable base for the economy. These
incentives should be balanced against the risk of moral hazard; whereby employers intentionally retain
economic inefficiencies, comforted by the open purse of the taxpayer.
Among the potential incentives that may be considered:
1.
2.
3.
Removal of tax on all BIKS connected with the setting up of a home office
Home office allowance for all expenses incurred by employers to assist employees to set up their home
offices
Two to three years tax holiday for all companies whose gross income is less than TT$1m and who
maintain for the said period a staff pool of more than 50 employees.
