JUDGMENT
This action came before the Court for a bench trial from June 16, 2010, through June 17,
The Director of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue (VIBIR) was originally a respondent1
in the instant matter, and at trial, attorneys for the VIBIR appeared to protect its interests. It is no
longer listed as a respondent, however, because the VIBIR’s position was consistent with that of
Petitioner.
