Papua New Guinea’s Treasury Minister, Ian Ling-Stuckey, introduced a bill to amend the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act 2003 while presenting the K3 billion 2026 Supplementary Budget to Parliament. The Goods and Services (Amendment) Bill 2026 seeks to update the existing legislation governing the country’s GST. Details of the proposed amendments were not immediately available, as access to the full report requires a subscription. The supplementary budget itself totals K3 billion, indicating a shift in financial planning for the nation. The presentation of the bill alongside the budget suggests the amendments are tied to broader economic strategies. The bill was presented through the Post Courier publication, though details are behind a paywall. Further information regarding the specific changes to the GST Act is expected to be released as access expands.
