The Finance Bill 2025, which contains a number of legislative reforms -including several new road traffic penalties — was passed in Parliament last night with the Government’s majority.

The bill was piloted by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo, who described it as a decisive step towards strengthening governance, modernising outdated laws, boosting public safety, and ensuring greater fairness in Trinidad and Tobago’s tax system.

Tancoo went through 23 clauses that will amend 21 pieces of legislation.
