The Government of Sint Maarten announced the successful completion of its Joint Tax Compliance Initiative, conducted from February to April 2026. Led by Minister of Finance Ms. Marinka Gumbs and SZV Deputy Director Mr. Elton Felisie, the project aimed to strengthen tax compliance, enhance taxpayer engagement, and improve data accuracy. A collaborative effort involving SBAB, ATS, and tax specialists from Sint Maarten and Curaçao deployed 30 professionals across nine districts. This resulted in the delivery of 2,253 compliance letters to businesses and taxpayers addressing outstanding declarations, unpaid obligations, missing filings, and record discrepancies. The government reported improved taxpayer engagement, strengthened compliance administration, and positive revenue performance as key outcomes.
