876radio.com understands that Jamaica's self proclaimed king of the dancehall, Beenie Man tax case which came up for mention yesterday in the islands' courts has once again been postponed.
According to the reports the case has been pushed back to September 29th and 30th, because two the three critical witnesses involved fell ill and were unable to make a appearance in court, as a result of these unforeseen circumstances the Crown was unable to continue the proceedings.
The tax evasion charges were brought late last year against the artiste, whose real name is Moses Davis.
Revenue officials said Beenie Man owes in excess of J$40 million in outstanding taxes. It was previously reported that the artiste wanted to engage in negotiations with the tax department with a view to settling his debt, but his attorney Roderick Gordon later disclosed that Beenie Man had a change of heart and would challenge the tax assessment.
The entertainer was arrested on a warrant last October, after he failed to appear before the Tax Court..
