Reason
The recovery initiatives from the debilitating economic
impact of COVID-19 warranted a major shift of priorities for the agencies
needed to meet the original definitive date. Henceforth, the legislative amendments,
procedures, human resource - capacity building, the required ICT and technical
infrastructure etc. needed to complete Article 3 - Advance Rulings was not possible.
The Second wave of COVID-19 worsened the situation in St. Kitts and Nevis.
