Bouyon artist Coleridge ‘Mr Ridge’ Bell recommends the introduction of a tax treaty to advance Dominica’s bouyon genre

Bouyon Artist Coleridge ‘Mr Ridge’ Bell has recommended the introduction of a tax treaty to take Dominica’s bouyon genre to new levels.

Mr Bell told the Government pre-budget consultation that some Caribbean Islands are using their tax treaty, which allows their artists to benefit financially.
