MAN Leader Renews Call to Cut Fuel Taxes and Fees in Curaçao

Giselle Mc William, leader of the MAN political party in Curaçao, has once again called for a reduction in excise duties and the elimination of at least one of the turnover tax (OB) links applied to fuel prices. Mc William first raised this issue in 2022 and repeated the demand again in March 2026, signaling her continued commitment to the cause. Her push targets the layered taxation structure on fuel, which she argues drives up costs for consumers. The repeated calls suggest the issue has not been addressed to her satisfaction by the current government. Fuel prices in Curaçao are a persistent concern for residents, as transportation and energy costs directly affect daily living expenses. Mc William's renewed campaign is likely aimed at building public and political pressure ahead of any budget or policy discussions.
