is this a tail wag dog thing? am i missing something? The property tax role is, by law, supposed to be gazetted and published annually. Has that ever happened in the past 50 years? Why not simply name and shame the delinquents of property tax? seems a very simple exercise but then again the property tax office is such a mess that publishing would reveal clearly to the world how much of a dismal quagmire that office is in. I believe Mr. Wilson is underqualified for the position he holds which is why he makes these unfounded statements.
2nd point is that VAT registrants are tax collectors for the govt. A business is not paying but collecting VAT on behalf of the Bahamian people. Wilson said 'they aren't paying' when he should have said they are "not collecting". or does he mean to elaborate and state that they are collecting but not paying? which is in essence theft from the Bahamas Government and they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. but wait, do we have cronyism at work here? Will they got off with a slap on the wrist? such blatant in your face criminality happening all over the place in this country. they need to check into many other businesses, maybd hire that old secret shopper company to conduct due diligence throughout the Bahamas on VAT compliance?
The foreign affairs/citizenship/passport office is perhaps the most corrupt sector of the Bahamas Govt except perhaps... all the other parts of the govt.
no, every owner of a dog who commits these crimes is punishable according to the law. assault and battery with a weapon is 5 years in fox hill I believe but I could be wrong. The animal is a product of its environment (i.e. dog fighting)
