Charges against Telemedia withdrawn

And in court, Magistrate Ed Usher today withdrew charges for the recovery of business tax that were made by the Commissioner of Income tax against Belize Telemedia Ltd, Business Enterprise System and B.T.L. Digicell Limited. The charges were placed in August by the Income Tax Department ordering the utility company to pay one million seventy-one thousand six hundred and sixty-three dollars and thirty cents, Business Enterprise System to pay a hundred and twenty-eight thousand two hundred and eight dollars and fifty cents, and for B.T.L. Digicell to pay eight hundred and forty-two thousand one hundred and eighty-six dollars and ninety cents. The charges were withdrawn because the monies were paid last Friday.
