There are companies that for a most part don't interact with Bahamians. only the banks and larger hotels. They already have to pay their taxes on the profits they make in their home country so this has no effect on them that way. What it may do is stop this country being used to set up holding companies for tax purposes which will affect jobs etc. but that remains to be seen. And as mentioned if it works they will slowly reduce that $800 million level until all companies are in it.
Maybe it would have been best to wait until after the US election to say this. This will not be happening under a Republican Government, whether it is a good idea or not.
Well done DIR, admitting you have no idea what is going on in this country. If all sales are meant to be recorded why could you not go to the registrar and view them? But no that's too much work for you. So you do this. Keep hitting that nail into the coffin more and more. Watch the director of DIR come on next week and say he is surprised there is push back as no one has said anything to him.
If we are to honor them then put them back where they were as their family had done. Don't have them in a showcase, otherwise you are just as bad as those colonialist that you say are so bad
Isn't this the land which they broke ground on to build a mini hospital all those years ago? Stop having breaking ground ceremonies and have opening ceremonies only. Then they will get my respect.
Because most of us hope to get a bit of that. And that currency ain't only ova da hill, its everywhere as it always has been from UBP days (and before) to now.
Its good they are coming back, but unless they are put back where they came from (in the cave) we are still doing a dishonor to the person. Also we are unable to do most of the tests they are talking about so the bones will still have to go back out.
Thats because there will be no response. They whole idea is to pretend that we will do something but then hope it goes away and people forget. There are a huge number of items this Government has said they would look into and not done anything.
