and under the immovable properties act the real estate market went drastically down hill. govt lost immeasurable amount of potential revenue and the economy tanked except for hotel jobs. lets all go work in the hotels since they are the only real viable business in the bahamas /s
the fact that it is not disclosed... Where is the FOIA commissioner when you want one eh? If you hide it we all assume evil at work but hey he prolly in church on sunday so no worries all his evil sins washed away in that 2 hours stint.
I'm sorry but is he complaining about paying $0.08 per foot of vessel? so they have to collect an additional $8.00 on a hundred foot boat? And then he says the 200 foot yacht will be paying $35,000 to register in the Bahamas? really? That 200 foot yacht is valued at around $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 and would be extremely higher rates for registration in other countries? These marina guys can't be serious right? Marinas are cash cows making a mint. hence why the govt is looking for some more revenue from them. If these wealthy yacht owners want to hang elsewhere it really doesn't bother me. No where is better to be than the Bahamas. if they want to play here they have to pay here.
Considering the significant amount of money that the Bahamas Government steals from the general population of the form of so called "taxes" it continually puzzles me why they always need to borrow more. How much does the 'collective we' owe so far? How much is annual govt revenue again? how many useless civil servants get free lunch everyday? asking for a friend.
