THE TT Revenue Authority Repeal Bill, otherwise known as "An Act to repeal the Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority Act, 2021 (Act No. 17 of 2021)" was passed in the Senate on June 27.

Fifteen government senators voted for it, 13 voted against it – including six opposition senators and seven independent senators – and two independent senators abstained.

Early in the debate, government senator Vishnu Dhanpaul said creating the TT Revenue Authority (TTRA) had been an exercise in frustration as various governments had argued about bringing it to fruition since 2002.
