if the islands had to add vat to condo/ hotel rentals they would be out of business, so we figure being under the 100k is the best bet , as most don't buy much they could absorb the few percent they would be charged vat in what they buy. I expect a few things to happen a huge increase in underground economy the rise of small cash business , lots of people running with boats to Florida to buy and import with out going to customs, and a lot of companies reducing until there under 100k , either by selling less or running two cash registers one for vat one for cash in the pocket. The government needs to do more to collect outstanding debts, between NIB property tax and customs duties owed it would make a huge improvement . and big companies closing because of the extra work in accounting and collecting vat which they get zero compensation for and waiting for ever to collect there payments back. I would put a bet that most companies will wait 6 to 12 months to get a check back and it will be wrong , and they will have to waste time and money auguring over it , as we do now with most bills .
I installed 35 kw of solar and 11 hot water heaters on my out island resort had to or would have to close, power bill was 5000 a month , we are now almost off grid , another 20kw to put in when the 35 kw is paid for in 3 years , cost 100k saving 3 k a month now .
the more Pete opens his mouth the more I dislike him , a spay. neuter operation is only 13.50 worth of direct costs, medicine and scalpel and packs where the heck do you get 50 which is up from the 30 you first asked for . I would recommend people stop using you .
