Although just over 30 people attended the meeting called by Senator Alan Breckon, the message was clear.
One after the other, those speaking from the floor said that the current regime, which meant that the owners of foreign-owned companies trading in the Island did not pay any tax on profits, had to be reformed.
Senator Breckon called the Town Hall meeting to raise support for his proposals to exempt food and domestic energy from the tax – rising from 3% to 5% next month – which will go to the States in just under a month.
