Yep they will also ask for tax exemptions, additional land for a golf etc.

Well apparently this writer wants us to take for model shitholes like Haiti Jamaica and Trinidad that have income taxes...

I stopped reading at “which every country in our wider region, from the USA and Canada to Barbados, Trinidad and Antigua manages to make work.” Comparing the Bahamas to the USA or Canada is ridiculous. Also contrary to what is being stated not every country in our wider region has income taxes (think Cayman Islands which is doing much better than Barbados and Trinidad...)

But is the Bahamas really a low emission country? We burn bunker C fuel to produce electricity, when the power is off everyone turns on their generator, every adult on this island drives a car (often burning oil), we have the most busy cruise ship port in the world, we have a transshipment port, an oil refinery, we burn our trash etc. Should we not start by reducing our CO2 emissions?

Be careful, because the competition will not be charging 15% corporate tax. Here is just one example:

"If a United States citizen becomes a bona fide Puerto Rican resident and moves his or her business to Puerto Rico, the income becomes Puerto Rican sourced income. This income benefits from a 4% corporate tax/fixed income tax rate, a 100% exemption on property taxes, and a 100% exemption on dividends from export services."

As a reminder we already lost Bacardi to Puerto Rico...

Interesting to see that accounts receivables from the Government are booked as "loss provisions"...

Government is interested in maximizing its revenues. It’s a lot easier for a company to reduce its income than to reduce its turnover on its financial statements.

Good example of the "ease" of doing business in the Bahamas...

Sir, you are correct

"if they’re going to start adding taxes here I might as well be in the US.” Yep this is what some people don't understand, when there will be 15% corporate tax, there will really be no more reason to be here...
