PHILIPSBURG--United Kingdom-based Taxand has written to government requesting clarity about its more than NAf. 3 million in outstanding payments that has been put on hold by Finance Minister Roland Tuitt.
Tuitt told the press on Wednesday that government's legal counsel is looking into the payment request.
The payments were put on hold as Tuitt attempts to get an outline of the Taxand tax compliance project that was initiated by former Finance Minister Hiro Shigemoto. No contract for the project, which includes the building of a new tax structure for the country, has been signed although some payments have been made to the company.
Tuitt wants a "judicial review" of the process used to select and work with Taxand. He expects to receive an estimate to carry out the review from the Government Accountants Bureau SOAB this week. The hope is to present it to the Council of Ministers for approval as early as Tuesday.
Taxand has been a point of heated debate in Parliament since the fall of the United People's (UP) party/Democratic Party/Illidge coalition in early May. The outcry has centred on the US $11 million price tag for the tax reform project and alleged family ties between Taxand and the former finance minister's cabinet.
