Questions Posed by AUSTRALIA Regarding the
Notification of ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES1
The following communication, dated 4 April 2002, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Australia.
_______________
Australia submits the following as an initial set of questions/comments.  We reserve our right
to ask further questions on this request at a later stage.
We thank St. Vincent & Grenadines for its submission of detailed information relating to its
request for extension for exemption under Arti cle 27.4 contained in documents G/SCM/N/74/VCT
and G/SCM/N/71/VCT.
1. Under the Fiscal Incentives Act, what types of activities are undertaken by the different
categories or groups of enterprises?  What determines how enterprises are categorised?
2. Document G/SCM/N/71/VCT notes the level of subsidies granted in 1995 to 1997.  Could
St. Vincent & Grenadines confirm that these figures represent total revenue foregone?
