Over $105m in property tax has been collected so far, according to Finance Minister Colm Imbert.

At a media briefing this morning, he revealed that this figure comes from 104,102 properties.

He noted that government is closing in on the $191m it expects to earn from property tax at this time.

The Minister was also asked about the inclusion of online payments through First Citizens Bank, and by the end of this week, Republic Bank.

Minister Imbert noted that online payments through other banks will come on stream after the Republic Bank option goes live.
