Consultation calls for transparent retail pricing and consumer protection

FGP convened a consultation with ICSTSI and business stakeholders on retail inflation, market transparency and consumer protection.

The discussion

Participants discussed a proposal to expand printed retail-price requirements for essential commodities through the Third Schedule of the Sales Tax Act. The meeting connected small-business concerns with the affordability of everyday goods and concluded with a call for policy engagement ahead of the federal budget. The recommendations are proposals from the consultation, not a statement that a legal change has been enacted.
