Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo says he anticipates businesses which will have to pay higher taxes following the national budget will pass on costs to consumers.

He is advising the population to push back against this.

In the $59.2 billion 2025-2026 fiscal package delivered in Parliament on Monday, Tancoo said landlords and business owners would pay a surcharge, starting on January 1, 2026.
