pre-paying tax is flat out the dumbest idea that I have ever heard of. Where in the lawful ACT is this specified? Next we will have to prepay to die I guess? stupid dumb-@$$ policy based on gross negligent overspending and borrowing.

No $100k gross turnover threshold? Do these jokers not know that govt is not in compliance with their own rules? how can we force the general populace to follow the rules when the govt does not? Why not write a useful article on how absolutely ridiculously difficult it is to try to get a business license for a home rental? Does anyone even know how they can get a biz license? Will they get VAT passthrough so they don't have to pay any VAT themselves only the end user renter? If it was easy they probably would but most get lost and give up trying. On the issue of "registered as raw land" that is a clear statement of failure of the DIR and Min of Works. They got a building permit, they got a Cert of Occupancy but no one at either entity can be bothered to do a little bit of work and update records. An maybe if the property tax roll was visible and public there would be a whole lot less issues with property tax rates but if that were the case how could people hide their little job benefit of not having to pay tax when you work in that department. They basically just admitted their failures here.

RBPF circling the wagons?

been 1 full year and still waiting for me 2 wheel plate...

feel free to stay in FL. whenever I go to FL, i can't wait to get back home to the Bahamas. The bahamas is the best place to be on the entire earth. if you want to play here, you have to pay here. These people have $300,000 toys, meaning lots of disposable income, feel free to share the wealth a little please. These pilots sound like spoilt children and they probably are.

Perhaps Mr. Strachan does not quite grasp how things work. The cost of asphalt, copper and pipes are quite high - who is to pay for those substantial benefits if it is a 70% subsidy for the politically connected? We all know only the favourites get favours. We also all know that the cost of proper planning and drainage is too much for the govt to bear. But yes, lets give a verylucky few even more free stuff like that 80 tract for $1 in Abaco or the other ones around the Bahamas. Say "Nominal Fee" to private developer, more shenanigans at the tax payer expense. Strachan just upset he didn't get payout like the other key cronies of Davis.

The biggest issue is that this person remains unnamed and will go onto do it again and again and countless women will suffer in silence out a fear of a liable lawsuit. this country is gone down the tubes already as a result of this nonsense protecting those who should not be protected. Name the name so we can all be aware and protect ourselves and our loved ones for this behavoir. I bet he sits up front in church every sunday "absolving his sins" and everyone knows but no one says anything.

no. you missed the biggest point. obv a trumpet here

been waiting on a license plate for 12 months now. it is a clear indication of a failing beaurocracy right there. a small flat plate of metal with paint on it, which I already paid for... which it is illegal for me to produce on my own I might add...

can we talk about grid tie solar yet? how about real transparency where x island generates x tax income and receives x dollars in govt services and spending? no one really cares if Mayaguana benefits from more than they generate but if Nassau is benefiting from disproportionately from income from Exuma/Eleu/Abaco then maybe it is not a good approach to this dilema?
