“pandering” to the emotions of the Bahamian people by making “outlandish promises” he cannot keep “just to be re-elected”.

Whose got the pic of Halkitis and crew on the election campaign saying no new taxes...in increase on taxes...must have taken a page out of his own book...“pandering” to the emotions of the Bahamian people by making “outlandish promises” he cannot keep “just to be re-elected”.

Well let's get one thing straight up front...businesses did not want vat and to this day the government has not listened to what we WANT or asked for.

Epic!!...and spot on!! LOL

BINGO!!! Give that man a prize!!

Agreed...retarded suggestion, I won't say ever, but it's pretty close.

Using your logic, let's see how many countries deal with price control regulations...you do realize that VAT inclusive and exclusive pricing are the same? At the end of the day the total at the end of the bill is the same. A $10 item pre-VAT...government tells me I must charge 0.75. vat inclusive, i charge you a flat price of 10.75...0.75 goes to government...vat exclusive i charge you 10.00+0.75 VAT...total 10.75...0.75 still goes to government, but you see what the government portion of the tax is...so we go to a tax inclusive setup...but price control says I can only charge $10.00... Everyone gets pissed off because I charge $10.75...bad karma falls on the business not the government, and you get twits like Bowe jumping up and down like idiots stirring the pot, when, in actual fact...VAT can be charged above the price control pricing schedule...

How many countries in your equation have to deal with the same price control configurations and scenarios...count them please.

Wonder how much VAT he ga owe an not pay!!

I'll happily call it gambling if it will get them to stop bloody texting me!!

The truth does indeed hurt...easier to hurl stones at somebody than apologize.
