- Grenada held its first VAT-free weekend on August 28–29, 2026, to give consumers immediate cost-of-living relief.
- The event triggered a major shopping surge nationwide, especially in Carriacou.
- It also exposed problems such as confusion over eligible items, traffic congestion, and alleged pre-weekend price increases by retailers.
- Suggestions included using a reduced VAT rate of 10%–12% instead of a full exemption, plus stronger price monitoring.
- The government is seeking public feedback to improve the VAT-free weekends planned for September and October.
