What Mr.Maura say he is true.The government has no tax strategy.You see it by how they can reverse so call positions on a dime and the push back from certain sectors.

The Bahamas is a special place where the likes of Marlon Johnson, could parade around as " acting financial secretary." These ideas were started under financial secretaries Rolle and Wilson.They were discontinued by him.Now they are being restarted. Mr.Hartnell won't ask any questions of him. Mr.Hartnell just writes down any thing he says as gospel. Mr.Johnson won't say that after one year he still can't answer the questions posed to him about last year's budget by a former senIor FNM cabinet minister.The journalists in the Bahamas needs to step up their game and do better.

i have not had a chance to have a detailed look over this year's budget. i like the attempt to refit the street lighting.It should reduce the amount of money the government pays to BPL for street lighting The attempt to improve the collection of real property tax was something the FNM government met in place They discontinued it and had to bring it back this fiscal period.Peter Turnquest finally realize there is widespread tax evasion in the Bahamas.That is why he had to recreate the revenue enhancement unit.Those persons were sent home in fall 2017.It was simply a basic budget. Very conservative and nothing special.

My comments had nothing to do with politics as you implied.It had to do with the timing of her appointment,it is weird. Both parties are guilty of this.The problem with people like you is your loyalty to the party is greater than it is to the country.

This is the man who disbanded the revenue enhancement unit.He said it was ineffective.Moody's the debt rating agency made note how that quote and quote ineffective unit collected some ninety million dollars in tax revenue from tax cheats during a six month period.I learn that from an article written by The Tribune business editor Hartnell. Now he realize what they were doing a year later.But he will survive in the Bahamas,like some one said to me,Bahamians don't understand much and have short memories

Mrs.Bowe Darville is qualified for the post. However her appointment to the bench so close to the retirement age will raise questions.This is just a shameless manipulation of the system.This is how things go in this country.All of the political parties who have held power in this country have done this.This is why the country is in the state it finds itself today.

The Bahamas needs journalists and not people who write down any foolishness that comes out of the politicians mouths.Both the REU and the property tax modernization.they meet in place in 2017.They were stopped and the contracted staff sent home.A year later,Johnson and Turnquest realize we need these things.So they restart them.This is why the Bahamas is in the state it is today,Dumb ,stupid decisions by persons unsuited for their position.

i just smile at this suggestion.Hubert Ingraham when he was prime minister and the minister of finance made a comment.He presented a budget in the house.He said the accounting firms in Jamaica,Barbados and Trinidad would provide a free analysis of their's countries budget.The accounting firms here should be doing that also. But this is the Bahamas.This is also a subtle way to campaign.
