It is ludicrous to force small to medium sized businesses to pay thousands of dollars more for nonsense accountant fees, this will only lead to to more businesses shutting their doors for good. It is already not worth it anymore to do business in this country as it is for many. Unfortunately more Bahamians will lose their jobs and clearly there will be much less VAT collected without businesses in business.
GBPC or Emera have been taking about alternate energy for years on end in an attempt to avoid the real problem. The end cost of power which has destroyed Grand Bahama and Bahamians livelihoods, the truth is they have not saved anyone a single dime and they themselves are making millions of dollars more in profits than ever before.
The price of oil crashed in August of 2014 by half of what it used to be but Grand Bahama is still getting murdered with insane power bills.
These criminals should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
Oh look another 20-25 million dollars raised that will be used to build another crooked politician another new home when it should be going into the treasury. Nothing to see here.
Mr. Mortimer is 100% correct, his business like all businesses in the Bahamas have had their cost of doing business going through the roof for years and now the government wants to price control them because they are raising costs to make ends meet.
Give me a break, these so called leaders are a bunch of effin morons that are nothing but incompetent fools when it comes to understanding how business works. They want businesses to lower their prices? Start by lowering duties across the board like what was supposed to be done when VAT was implemented and fix the cost of power which is nothing but a catastrophe in this country.
BEC and GBPC also have not reduced their ridiculous prices, which is damning because the cost of fuel (oil) plummeted down by 30% five months ago in August of 2014.
With only a few weeks to go before VAT the PM has called the VAT situation BAD yet HE is responsible for this BAD situation. Remember this is the same PM who went to Las Vegas after he convinced the rest of his blind followers to rush the VAT bill through at the eleventh hour.
The owners of this big mess is the PM, the PLP and no one else.
