Absolutely unreal...mount up people, this VAT thing will be an epic disaster. The government don't even have their systems in place yet to manage it, they won't let people know how to structure their business and allow them time to set up their systems until a short 2 months before the go live date. In some instances, with international orders, and even new car orders, it can take anywhere from 3-4 months to get the merchandise you ordered, and you are meant to make those business decisions without knowing what the market and duties, and everything that goes along with that is going to be? VAT is NOT the solution...the government is deliberately keeping this thing under wraps and is going to jam it down your throats if you don't rise up and say something about it.
The flaw with the bonded warehouse concept is, every time you transfer your own merchandise out of bond and into your live inventory, the government is going to hit you with a processing fee on top of everything else they are charging you for that merchandise the first time around. KMA!
If an election were to be called now, I know for certain I would not vote PLP, and about 99.9% certain I would not vote FNM...they'd need to pull some small miracle out of their backsides to prove to me they have what it takes to govern again...in their current state, I do not think they do.
There is currently no law in the books that forces you to carry anything 24/7...the only law of sorts is that when asked by an appropriate official for your proof of status, you do so within a 'reasonable amount of time'.
Case in point...the most recent case of the Dominican poachers...yes, they got a decent sized fine, but they got their boat back just to do it all over again. Government should have kept the boat and equipment and sold it at auction to a Bahamian fishing crew. When you start seizing the fishing vessels, see how fast the poachers stay a safe distance off. Maybe if the government realizes they can make a couple hundred thousand or more on the auction of said vessels, they may be inclined to actually chase them down and catch them. Heck...RBDF may even become a profitable undertaking!!
No...if as a citizen of this country I am detained because I am not in possession of a piece of paper there will be hell to pay...I truly feel sorry for the citizens of this country who are so willing and quick to reverse the freedom laws of this country for more restrictive and socialist controls.
So if your ID card is fakable (no doubts here)...or if you have an in on someone selling cards out the back door...the system is broken before it even starts.
