StalledConfidenceHighMacroeconomy & IMF

NPP-2024-P-159

Categorize goods applicable for VAT and introduce a different tax rate for each category.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: Stalled. Current Inland Revenue guidance shows a single 18 percent standard VAT rate and 18 percent for financial services, with 0 percent largely limited to export supplies. It does not establish the promised differentiated VAT rates by domestic goods category.

“The current VAT schedule states an 18% standard rate from 1 January 2024 and an 18% rate on financial services; 0% is listed for exports rather than a category-by-category domestic rate structure.”

How assessments are made

One model assembles a fixed evidence file from statements and official documents. A second model assesses the promise from that evidence file, so it cannot choose the evidence that supports its own conclusion.

A promise without evidence remains unassessed. Assessments are automatically published, not editorially reviewed, and every rated promise includes its date, assessor, sources, and a route to dispute the record.
