The Government should evalate the average cost of gas over the last five years & on that average dollar value, invoke the VAT on that amount for a set period of time. Rather, than the current escaluting tax amount based on rising price of gas. The Gov't will be collecting the same amount & just not enjoy a windfall in tax revenue.
The last time we were on Grand Bahama Island, we were totally taken aback by the deplorable condition. Many of the Facebook pages in Canada talk about how rundown & totally too expensive the Country of Bahamas is. Most are recommending Mexico & Florida for vacation & avoiding Bahamas.
The new Government has totally fooled all the citizens. Reduced VAT?? What a lie as they simply added 10% Tax to breadbasket items that severely hurt the marginal even more than the original VAT. There is an old saying & it certainly applies to Brave Davis Gov't "Liars figure & figures lie".
Why doesn't the Tribune block caroton61 from posting in comments section. It's obvious that vast majority of his Covid posts are 100% false & most likely made up by him/her simply to cause chaos & mis-information.
