Hotels and villas are given duty concession on refurbishment of their properties; and 4.
Small hotel operators and restaurants affected by the fall off in tourist arrivals have been given duty relief on the purchase of food and wines.

Madam President, we will continue with these initiatives in 2010 as we continue our efforts to alleviate the impact of the recession.
However, we will not stop here.
Effective from January 1, 2010, we will grant duty free concession on electronic security systems to encourage businesses and home owners to protect their properties from criminals. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
With the increase in breakings that have occurred over the years, there is need for our people to become more vigilant and install alarm systems and security cameras where possible.
This will go a long way in assisting the police in curtailing criminal activities.

As part of our long term strategy to promote Nevis as a green destination and to conserve energy, we will grant duty free concession on the importation of solar water heaters and wind turbines. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
The cost of energy from fossil fuel is expected to rise significantly in the future and thus we must encourage our people to pursue alternative and environmentally friendly sources of energy.
146.
We are also working in conjunction with the Federal government to improve the efficiency of the tax collection system. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
In this regard, we have been exploring the possibility of the introduction of a Value-Added Tax (VAT) which will increase the tax coverage and replace several other taxes including Traders Tax, Hotel Rom Tax, Travel Tax, Vehicle Rental Tax, Insurance Premium Fee, Parcel Tax, Consumption Tax, and Export Duty.
By bringing all of these taxes under a single legislative and administrative framework, management and enforcement will be easier and more effort could be expended on collections. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
Based on the experience of other countries in the Caribbean, the VAT has the potential to generate additional revenues, reduce the cost of living, and bring greater equity to tax assessments on individuals and businesses.
Presently, my government has three officers working full time in St Kitts along with officials form CARTAC and the St. Kitts Ministry of Finance undertaking research work and getting a better understanding of the system. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
When the preliminary work is completed, and the administrative issues between St Kitts and Nevis are resolved, a final decision will be made on the implementation of VAT.
147.
Madam President, when a country has very little fiscal space and is facing a recession, the natural instinct is to curtail expenditure.
There are different viewpoints on coping effectively with a recession. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
There are those who argue that government should increase expenditure and reduce taxes to give a boost to the economy and there are others who suggest that government should keep out and allow the natural cycle to play out.
Doing nothing is not an option for this government.
While we have worked diligently to control current expenditure, we have carefully included projects in the capital budget that will generate jobs and increase incomes. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
In addition to funding from internal resources and the CDB, the government borrowed over $10 million from Social Security to undertake a stimulus programme.
Some projects have already started and others will be implemented during 2010. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
The projects include the purchase of land and construction of Cotton Ground Police Station at $1.2 million; repairs to old police station 37 $150,000; construction of the Labour Department office $250,000; Farm Machinery for Agriculture $30,000; upgrade of Charlestown Public Market $295,000; sea island cotton production $100,000; expansion and upgrade of the Veterinary Clinic $125,000; upgrade of Cardi Building $150,000; expansion and upgrade of the Cotton Ground Health Centre $450,000; New River Estate Museum Project $79,423; Maritime Museum Project $200,000; upgrade of Primary Schools ( Charlestown, VOJN, and Ivor Walters $998,821); computerization of schools $500,000; renovation to Gingerland Secondary School $205,000; expansion of Charlestown Secondary School $ 1,000,000; Purchase of land and upgrade of Cotton Ground playfield $700,000; and construction of community centres for Camps, Fountain, Jessups, Charlestown and Cotton Ground $2,762,300. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
148.
These projects are small but will go a long way in alleviating the unemployment situation until the economy recovers.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 149.
Madam President, not very long after the NRP was returned to office, we were confronted with a global recession, the closure of our flag ship hotel, the Four Seasons Resort, an economy dominated by one investor, and a serious deterioration of the social fabric of our country. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
The comprehensive and holistic developmental agenda that we enunciated in our 2006 manifesto became a herculean task to achieve due to fiscal constraints and the downside risks to our economy.
We did not despair.
We pursued our task with the same fortitude and commitment that energized the NRP when it fought for a better deal for Nevisians in the 70’s and 80’s. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We had the same drive and dedication similar to when we formed the government in 1983 and took on the virtually impossible task to bring about change in an island that had poor infrastructure, high unemployment, and lack of adequate basic services such as water and electricity.
We took on the task and liberated the people of Nevis from poverty and engendered a new self confidence, energy and vitality. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We started the government with meager resources but with creativity, imagination and will, we were able to overcome the obstacles and improve the roads, water and electricity services, health care, and educational opportunities for the benefit of our people.
We built up the institutional structure of government and expanded economic activity by investments in tourism and financial services. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
Through our efforts we were able to attract the five star four seasons property which is still the life blood of this country.
38 150.
Returning to government after being in opposition for fourteen years, we have found ourselves in a similar situation.
We inherited a country with a poverty rate of over 30% and indigence of 15%.
Areas such as Social services, Agriculture, and investment promotion were ignored, and the water system was inadequate to meet the demands of a growing population. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
While the CCM Government was able to complete many of the infrastructural projects started by the earlier NRP government, it was done at great expense to the nation through the accumulation of high debts and the wastage of government’s resources.
I will not say much about the issue of mismanagement of government’s resources since the general public will be able to judge for itself after getting a full account from the Commission of Enquiry. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
I am not seeking to fault the CCM administration for the high levels of public debt recognizing that debt is sometimes necessary to propel the country forward.
However, debt is not sustainable unless the government is able to attract investment capital to grow the economy so that the debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio could fall over time and the servicing cost becomes more manageable.
151. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
151.
This is the reason for choosing the theme – ‘Re-orienting economic activity by fostering a competitive business and investment environment’.
To continue to grow the economy and better manage the public debt, we will have to focus our attention on private sector expansion.
Since assuming office, my government has given high priority to this area and we are already seeing signs of progress despite the state of the global economy. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
The Aman resort is still on track and several other hotel properties are getting ready to begin as soon as the market conditions in the global economy begin to show signs of stability.
We expect that construction on the geothermal plant will begin in the latter part of 2010.
This project has the potential to revolutionize the economy of Nevis by attracting new industries that are seeking green energy and greater stability in prices. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We will also be taking measures to improve the business and investment environment by simplifying procedures and reducing bureaucratic red tape.
The Nevis Investment Promotion Agency will play a leading role in this process as we put in place policies and systems to facilitate both local and foreign investment.
152.
Despite the challenges, this government will not abandon its mandate of people empowerment. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We have already facilitated the training of over 500 Nevisians and this trend will continue as we seek to equip our people with the skills to become self-reliant and to make a meaningful contribution to their country.
Even though the poverty rates have declined 39 significantly, we will not rest on our laurels. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We will continue to provide nutritious meals to school children; we will continue to support and expand the home work assistance programme; we will closely monitor the cost of living and educate the public about the best purchasing options to save money; and we will continue the thrust in housing until we are satisfied that every Nevisian has a roof over his or her head.
Crime continues to be a major concern and thus the government is spending over $1 million to construct barracks for the police officers. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
By providing suitable accommodation for the police, we will be able to increase the number of police officers in Nevis.
We will also be seeking financial assistance to improve the surveillance of Charlestown by significantly increasing the number of security cameras in strategic locations.
153.
Madam President, this budget recognizes fully the difficult external environment and the challenges that lie ahead. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We have restricted current and capital expenditure and have tried hard to limit deficit spending.
Revenue is expected to be inelastic and thus we will have to focus on expenditure and cash management.
I have already outlined a plan to improve cash management by establishing a cash and debt management committee which will undertake biweekly projections to match revenue and expenditure, and to raise financing to meet shortfall when necessary. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
During the course of this week a working shop on Public Finance Management is being conducted by the Ministry of Finance and the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Centre (CARTAC) to enforce aspects of good public finance management practices in the various departments of government.
A total of 36 expenditure managers are attending the workshop.
154.
Madam President, the capital projects have been carefully selected to ensure that we focus on critical projects that will generate employment. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
A significant portion of the capital budget will be financed with a loan from the Social Security Board.
I want to take this opportunity to express sincere thanks to this very important institution for demonstrating confidence in the government by it willingness to provide the financing to help stimulate the economy in this very difficult period. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We will continue to partner with the Social Security Board to confront the development challenges and to put Nevis and the Federation as a whole on a sustainable path of economic growth and development.
155.
Madam President, with the closure of the Four Seasons Resort and the global recession, my government is cognizant of the fact that many of our people are experiencing hardship.
Please do 40 not give up hope. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
Please do 40 not give up hope.
Just like shooting an arrow from a bow, sometimes we have to be drawn back in order to be propelled forward.
The present situation is only temporary.
It is well established in the economic literature that the economy moves in cycles of boom and bust and thus it is only a matter of time before we experience a change in fortune.
There is no time for idleness or procrastination. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
There is no time for idleness or procrastination.
It is important that we begin to prepare ourselves to take advantage of the opportunities that will abound as the world economy improves.
Let us begin to retrain and retool to equip ourselves with the skills necessary to progress in the future.
I believe that this is the right time to invest.
I commend organizations like the Social Security Board, S.L. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
Horsfords & Co. Ltd, and Bank of Nevis that are planning to undertake major construction projects in 2010 and I encourage others to do the same.
With all the plans, programmes and projects that I have outlined, I believe that Nevis is on the verge of a major transformation that will generate huge rewards for those who are willing to take the risk.
The time for action is now.
156.
Madam President, our people are no strangers to hardship. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
We have been through many trials throughout our history, from slavery to independence, and we have triumphed at every stage of the way.
We are now going through the worst recession since World War 2 but I am confident that with hard work, determination, and courage, our Heavenly Father will give us the endurance to overcome any obstacle.
We also have a group of visionary and dynamic leaders and a party that has brought Nevis through many difficulties, leading the way. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
The people of Nevis are in safe hands.
Let us work together for a brighter future for present and future generations of Nevisians.
157.
We must not let the financial and economic turmoil cause us to despair. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
Instead let us rise confidently to the challenges and embrace the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, “I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it – but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” 158. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | Saint Kitts and Nevis | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943943985.pdf | https://nia.gov.kn/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Budget-address-2010.pdf |
I wish everyone a happy Christmas season and may God continue to give us the strength to overcome the challenges that lie ahead knowing that a brighter future is on the horizon.
159.
Madam President, I so move.

Purpose of Act The purpose of this Act is to— (a) risks to public health; and risks to trade in primary produce; and risks to animal welfare; and risks to agricultural security: prevent or manage risks associated with the use of agri- cultural compounds, being— (ai) (i) (ii) (iii) ensure that the use of agricultural compounds does not result in breaches of domestic food residue standards: ensure the provision of sufficient consumer information about agricultural compounds. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | New Zealand | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943948883.pdf | https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1997/0087/22.0/096be8ed80747004.pdf |
(b) (c) Section 4(a)(ai): inserted, on 18 October 2007, by section 5 of the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Amendment Act 2007 (2007 No 93).
4A Scheme of Act (1) (2) This Act aims to achieve its purpose by providing that no agri- cultural compound may be used (including imported, manu- factured, or sold) in New Zealand unless that use is authorised by or under this Act. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | New Zealand | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943948883.pdf | https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1997/0087/22.0/096be8ed80747004.pdf |
The 2 main mechanisms for authorising use of an agricultural compound are— (a) an assessment of the compound, and its registration for use subject to specifically imposed conditions: an exemption from the requirement to register the com- pound, so long as any specified conditions for exemp- tion are met.
(b) (3) A range of conditions may be imposed to manage the risks as- sociated with agricultural compounds. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | New Zealand | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943948883.pdf | https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1997/0087/22.0/096be8ed80747004.pdf |
These conditions may 13 Part 2 s 5 Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997 Reprinted as at 1 July 2011 relate to substances, products, systems, or people’s behaviour, and may be imposed— (a) directly by the Director-General when an agricultural compound is registered or exempted from the require- ment to be registered; or generally, by regulations. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | New Zealand | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943948883.pdf | https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1997/0087/22.0/096be8ed80747004.pdf |
(b) The Director-General may also issue notices that set out the technical detail of how compliance with conditions imposed by regulations can be achieved.
This Act, by its subject matter, has a relationship with other Acts such as the Animal Products Act 1999, the Food Act 1981, the Wine Act 2003, the Animal Welfare Act 1999, the Biosecurity Act 1993, the Medicines Act 1981, and the Haz- ardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1986. | Gender Based violence- Violence Against Women | Acid violence / crime | New Zealand | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1698943948883.pdf | https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1997/0087/22.0/096be8ed80747004.pdf |
Generally, the outcomes for which this Act regulates are those set under the other related Acts.
For example: (a) maximum residue limits for food products are set under (b) the Food Act 1981; while this Act assesses and controls agricultural compounds to ensure the Food Act residue limit is not breached.
