A former minister in the Finance Ministry is warning the Government against any move to introduce new taxes or fines, as uncertainty grows over the timing of the mid-year budget review.
Brian Manning, who is the current San Fernando East MP, yesterday expressed concern that the Government may seek additional taxation measures to bolster revenue.
Speaking outside the Red House, Manning said citizens are already under pressure from rising costs and limited economic relief.
