M&CC encourages residents to use MMG to pay taxes

With movements of Guyanese being restricted due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is encouraging residents of Georgetown to pay their rates and taxes via Guyana Telephone and Telegraph’s Mobile Money Guyana (MMG) app.
However, those who are unable to access the MMG platform are requested to make payments to the Treasury Section that is opened between Monday to Friday from 08:30h to 12:00h.
Nevertheless, the M&CC on Monday stressed that those who are visiting the office to conduct business must wear a face mask, wash their hands upon entering the compound and practice social distancing.
Those persons utilising the MMG electronic system will be required to provide their account number which can be found on either a printed invoice, an old receipt, or on a demand notice received from the Mayor and City Council.
The use of MMG is said to be a safe, reliable and convenient service; especially since the nation is working towards putting an end to the global pandemic.
The MMG initiative was made possible through a collaboration between the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) and the telephone company in November of 2017.
This was aimed at enabling persons to make their payments to the M&CC in a timely and convenient manner.
