I reckon the letter writer is the same person who keeps writing these type letters every couple weeks. Probably even Alan1. Obviously they do not know the country as only a few weeks back the hotels were saying they expected a bumper season (pre Omincron). We haven't changed our requirements for entry so this can not be the case. I can only assume that whoever this letter writer is does not like to be put out. I know many travelling into and out of the US and no problems with getting tests to get back, so it can't be that hard. Canada is different and i would have no problems if we required Canadians to meet the same requirement we have to when we go there.
People who have historically paid should just not pay this time. Wait for the next real property tax incentive where they make sure those who don't pay get more benefits then those who do. Doesn't make any sense doing the right thing here.
Why do we keep seeing these letters. If someone in Canada wants to come here take a test up to 3 days before and come, whether you are vaccinated or not, and you can be on the beach or at the bar within an hour of landing. If my family wants to go to Canada only those vaccinated can do that after all the necessary paperwork. Those not vaccinated (any child under 11 for sure over here) would have to quarantine for 10 days. So stop your moaning, you have it a lot easier coming this way then we do.
I would hope there would be some explanation as to why you can no longer pay your real property tax online. It wasn't a great site but at least it worked. Now you are just given a webpage to put in your assessment number and pay, but at no point do they tell you how much to pay. Not sure i would trust that with the amount of money needed to be sent. I can only think the Government is trying to get real property tax arrears to $1 billion, as once you miss the incentive for paying early you may as well wait for the next incentive from Government for not paying at all.
Well i hope when those Expats are forced to leave they don't go back to their countries and demand that any of us Bahamians over there are treated the way you want to treat them over here. You know the tens of thousands in the US, Canada and elsewhere.
This happens every couple of space launches for some reason. I also remember one from 20 odd years ago which i think was a missile launch by the US (i think at least).

I too would like tax breaks. I help out at places so deserve it. I would be happy with what the church currently gets as well, so thats a win.
