Oh the irony. Redundancy insurance as another expense to a business is most likely to cause more redundancy. I wonder when hard working business owners (not talking about big business will get a feather in their cap). Many small/medium business owners work as hard or harder than their employees and sometimes get no benefits just trying to keep the doors open hoping for a better day.
"One Tax Bahamas will come with some unavoidable "pain" when taxpayers have to re-register in February 2026 and obtain a "BIN" (likely Bahamas Identification Number) rather than the present TIN."
These people are masochists. There is no other explanation.
Cable was charging me 700 percent more for 6 percent of the bandwidth for internet vs starlink. I even asked before I switched if they could reduce my rate to maybe just 300 percent more and they said no. I guess the free ride is over.
With BAHFSA and rules for labeling how can the packaging not have to state the country of origin and packaging facility that the eggs came from? I think the price reduction is great for us but, it is suspect that the packaging does not show this info and they are reluctant to state the source.
The Bahamas banks do not even really want land anymore for collateral. All they want is cash secured loans. Our banks are nothing more than loan sharks at best. High interest, high collateral and tons of paperwork.
The Bahamas has no banks anymore. We have loan sharks and all they do is charge you to keep your money in a electronic vault that is hacked all the time.
