Can someone show what the tax cost is in the rest of the Caribbean? If its a couple % less then us then that's fine due to fuel costs etc to get there. If its the full VAT amount less then that's different.
Whilst i hope this works, as otherwise thats a huge waste of money, why lie in the article. To say the stadium was filled with hundreds of people, and then have the junkanoo photo where you can clearly see many empty seats is wrong. Also maybe if they had advertised this better there would have been more people/.
Of course they should pay their fair share. If they can't afford to pay 14% of their fee and feel its better to go to south of us, then bye. The extra gas etc will eat into that amount, and in addition many of those islands charge as much if not more.
Don't forget that merchant has to also take into account the number of items stolen (as this letter writer observed). There is some poor mum out there paying what little she can for items which are more expensive due to the lady who stole.
This mess is typical of here. Someone came down throwing money around and we lapped it up. Anything they wanted they got and we were happy as the money was flowing. Now its coming back to bite us. When we will learn to make sure rules are in place and followed. This will not look good on our finance industry.
If he is a fugitive then we should ask for extradition from the US. We send many Bahamians to the US for breaking their law, so it should be reciprocated.
Surely if they pay the required taxes it is Governments job to repair it. Isn't the safety of the harbor the governments responsibility? Or should we expect the people who live on eastern road to pave their own road, i mean after all they should have the money for it right?

We don't enforce laws in this country. Expect those car parks to be used by the hotel workers, so they can effectively get us off another beach.
