Belize's budget speech reads more like a statement of intent than a delivery plan, but the IDB and CIAT involvement is the bit to watch. Those two have been quietly funding a chunk of the Caribbean rollout. If they are committing real implementation support, the timeline could move faster than the Act language suggests.

Anyone know if BTSD has named a target start year, or is it still completely TBC?
Alex J.29 March 2026
Nothing official from BTSD yet. The 2025 GST Amendment Act is the legal basis, but the actual roll out timetable is being scoped under the IDB technical assistance programme. Best informal estimate I have heard is a 2027 first wave for larger taxpayers, but treat that as a guess.
