Zero benefit for some to get a BL if one can get around it. Why would someone do it? To be treated like a criminal by the government and them grinding your business to halt with their come back tomorrow, just step out, bring your DNA, saliva, urine, blood, and fecal sample to do the most basic tasks when interacting with any government department?
In 2017 when Brazil had the huge canned corned beef scandal almost every country in the world including China banned canned corned beef from Brazil for a period of time. The Bahamas government did not ban it and the wholesalers/retailers fully knowing that it was deemed not safe to eat kept stocking it on the shelves. They both are culpable for the food quality being sold in The Bahamas and it is shameful.
Why would anyone want to go through the onerous hoop jumping process of getting a work permit for a foreign person if a local one is available to work?
They will take a picture of your car and print it out on a piece of paper with a road traffic stamp on it. Kind of like the new NIB cards. Photocopy the old card on a piece of regular paper and stamp it. We are the 21st century after all.
Just put NIB to 110% one time and get it over with. Then NIB can hire everyone in the country to work there. It would be a wonderful solution to the problem.
It is outside interference and so called help over the past 100 years that has gotten Haiti to the state it is in. Best thing to do for Haiti is nothing and let it sort itself out.
Just a tax called something else. 1.5% three of 4 times? Just shut it down now. That would make NIB 16%. How much more are they collecting because of the recent minimum wage increase? Why are the rich paying less of their income to NIB because of the max limit?
This is very upsetting! I run a business pay my taxes, jump through all the government loops and bu%l$hit that make actually running my business put on the side sometimes and there are others who get away with this? Worst of all the governments answer is to put more road blocks and make life more difficult for the people who are paying their taxes.
