Overview of measure
Measure - Small and medium-sized enterprises
To encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access capital markets to raise financing, the
Minister is proposing to extend the reduction in the corporation tax rate by amending the Corporation Tax Act to
allow for the following:
an increase in the incentive period from five years to ten years;
a full tax holiday for the first five (5) years following listing on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange
instead of the current reduced corporation tax rate of 10%; and
a 50% tax holiday for the next five (5) years following listing on the TTSE.
These measures will take effect on 1 January 2021.
Commentary
This measure targets SMEs which traditionally opt not to raise capital through equity financing and large
investors/funds via venture capital have not actively sought to make investments in companies such as these.
When this measure was first introduced, there was little optimism of its success.
