Jamaica Gleaner "BITING CRITICISM of and widespread disgust with the Government's latest tax package has forced the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) government into reverse gear as it changes course on measures deemed by many to be 'oppressive'.
At the same time, the opposition People's National Party (PNP) has planned peaceful protests for Wednesday at different locations across the country, as it calls on the Government to roll back the taxes.
Up to late last evening, Cabinet members were at Jamaica House working feverishly to revise the taxation package announced by Finance and Public Service Minister Audley Shaw last Thursday.
A government source told The Gleaner that some of the taxes, which triggered a public backlash, have been rolled back."
