All the black lists the Bahamas was put on were initiated under Democrat presidencies. Under Clinton we had to sign automatic of exchange upon demand. As I said your love for the old man is blinding you completely.

With Biden's 21% corporate tax, I doubt Gunvor will remain very long in the Bahamas. Considering the the company is paying USD 10,000 monthly housing rent for its employees, several Bahamians will be left with an overpriced piece of real estate that they cannot rent out anymore.

The same way Obama did with exchange of information and as mentioned above the US did not even participate in the program. This would have never happened with Trump.

Proguing says...

If Biden forces the whole world to have a 21% tax, yes he is to blame. Your love for the old man is blinding you. Obama did the same with automatic of exchange of information, except that the US was the only country not to participate.

Firstly, don't you think that Bahamians should decide on our tax matters and not Biden? Secondly many foreign companies come here because there are no corporate taxes, just like many banking clients came here for the banking secrecy. We already lost many banks, now whatever is left will leave. Why would someone set-up a company in the Bahamas once it is taxed at 21%? You can say goodbye to all the IBCs. Some people who hold property through companies will soon be shocked to learn they have to pay 21% tax on any gain when they sell. The consequences of this will be catastrophic.

"Janet Yellen, the US treasury secretary, last week pushed for a minimum global corporate tax rate of 21 percent - something that would represent a giant, potentially unsustainable leap for nations such as The Bahamas" and to think that some Bahamians were stupid enough to support Biden. The blacklists are not far off and once again the Bahamas will have to capitulate to these threats and to get rid of the last advantage that we have over our competitors.

At least it would make sense if he was going to win...

What is the percentage outside of their private island and private beach?

Proguing says...

Of course, thanks to Covid they are able to have cruises to Harbour island. But the people of Harbour island think otherwise.

Proguing says...

We can't build a cruise home port facility and when things are back to normal they all go back to the USA.
