Roseau, Dominica – November 09 2026 — Dominica’s House of Assembly is set to
meet on Monday, November 9, 2026, for the Third Meeting of the
Fourth Session of the Eleventh Parliament. Proceedings are scheduled
to get underway at 10:00 a.m., with several financial and legislative
matters expected to come before lawmakers.
A key item on the agenda is the Supplementary Estimates of
Expenditure for the period covering January to June 2026. Members of
Parliament will also debate proposed revisions to the Value Added Tax
Act, Income Tax Act and Excise Tax Act. The three pieces of legislation
are intended to implement measures outlined in the 2026/2027
National Budget, with the stated aim of reducing pressure on
households, increasing the amount of income workers take home and
helping consumers cope with the cost of goods and services.
Another proposed legislative change concerns the Pensions Act. The
amendment is designed to introduce a bridge pension for eligible non-
established public officers and facilitate the payment of pension
differences to qualifying officers who have reached the age of 65. The
public will be able to follow the sitting live through the Government
Information Service (GIS) of Dominica.
