Disgraceful...but hey...it's our culture...those special few who know someone who know someone will just get a free pass and burn the honest individuals out their paying their dues.

Screw it...me and my taxes payments are going on strike.

It is disgraceful, but why should it be our culture. It's up to us to change this. We have to hold people accountable.

Ahhh...but ya see...they will only hold 'CERTAIN' people accountable...those in favour get a pass...

Bran is only proving here that he is no different than Christie or Ingraham ...... if he were different, and truly had the evidence he claims, then he would be publicly naming and shaming the 16+ MPs who are tax dodgers. BRAN, EITHER PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

The hypocrisy of politicians of either color wanting to impose more and more rules and laws and restrictions on the general population,
while they outright ignore the laws of the land themselves.
And they wonder why the little respect they get is from the ignorant.
They cannot possibly earn any.
Last time I checked, they swear allegiance to the queen, and the laws of the land.
This is a constitutional Monarchy, not a democracy,
but they are definitely using mob rules to run us all into the ground.

The sad thing is that your roster of MP's out there are all pretty well off and are more than capable than your average Joe of paying their taxes...they just 'elect' not to...well hey...I'm taking my own vote and electing not to pay any more of my taxes.

Comrade "Advocate Public Flogg'in" Bran, the good constituents of Bamboo Town saw right through Bran's politics. Curiosity is tugging away at me to inquire how come you never once had one of your many recent "Come to Jesus Selective Moments," while you sat in this same House, near the then PM, yet I don't recall you ever lecturing your very own red House colleagues that they were breaking this same law by failing to disclose their assets – an act that is and was back then punishable by a $10,000 fine or two years in prison. Bran are you prepared to provide Tribune readers with the list of names you claim to possess. Is there any evidence available to Tribune readers that you were as outspoken back then as you are now about MP's not following the law? Comrade Bran did you ever hit the campaign trail to help any of these same law breakers and tax dodgers" to present themselves to go before the people, as law abiding, tax paying citizens, worthy for election to the People's Honourable House of Assembly? The Lord himself is discovering when any fresh daily edition of the Tribune hits the streets that if you were to put Bran, Loretta, Minnis, Darron and Duane in the same room, the Tribune's lead front page headline could read; The Red Shirts Hold yet another "Come To Jesus Moments" Revival" with one objective in mind - pretend like "it wasn't us" who before the PLP, had control over the powerful instruments of Bahamaland's government. Nope, wasn't we reds. Yep, Bamboo Town saw all this is see about this man's politics.

Any Bahamian paying property tax is a blithering idiot.

Apparently...I guess I made the mistake of getting a good education, being honest and forthright, and paying my dang property taxes...along with all the other bills like an idiotic responsible citizen...guess I should have just got my D average at a government school and just ignore paying a thing and dodging at every turn...silly me...what was I thinking. Trust me...ain't gonna pay property tax until they hunt me down and shoot me!!

Sad eh? Our great leaders are showing us the proper way to behave.

How many persons qualify to pay RPT in New Providence as compared to properties valued at over $250,000 throughout the country??????????????
The latter should be the true threshold for paying RPT. That alone would cover VAT

If there are 54 parliamentarians (38 in HoA + 16 in Senate), and he is talking about 16+ of them... how is that more than half? You mean I should take seriously these unsubstantiated accusations by a kid who can't even get basic math right? I say send Bran to Windsor Academy, instead of Rawson Square. Perhaps the school's principal will comp him the tuition.

It is not just MPs and wealthy Bahamians that owe their property taxes. There are many expats condo owners who are unaware that they even have to pay property tax, assuming that the monthly condo fees look after that for them. After all there is no one chasing them for payment so those that are aware realise or have lawyers who advise them that they will have to be taken to a high court for the tax to be recovered and that will take several years in the current court system.

I question how accurate this information is. Most smart business people and parliamentarians put their properties into companies, the beneficial owner of which would not necessariy be reflected on the actual real property tax assessment. You would have to do some major digging to find out who owns the company first before you can say the individual did not pay the tax assessment.
