SMART Says It Owes Nothing

And while BTL had a press conference to clear their name, the other object of the teachers ire was SMART.

As we have been reporting, the Prime Minister's sister Vanessa Briceno is said to owe 11 million dollars in taxes and penalties for business she conducted in concert with Speednet, which is the parent company for SMART.

Today, SMART issued a release saying, Speednet Communications, quote, "has no outstanding GST taxes due to the government of Belize. As a responsible corporate citizen, we have always ensured that we are compliant in the payment of our General Sales Tax obligations." End quote.
