The Gov't is taking everyone for a ride. 10% on Breadbasket items will hurt the middle & lower income citizens. A very regressive tax that is going to be very painful for many. Liars figure & figures lie!
It is easy to understand Contractors concern, however, the cold hard truth is the change required & it is required, makes contracts totally useless to buyer. The result is, the contracted price most likely is just a fairy tale. So sad for all.
What a joke. $2.00 savings by a Tourist for every $100.00 spent by them! They won't even notice the savings, they will just remember the 10%. In addition ,the Gov't has taken every citizen for a ride with their smoke & mirrors move. Reduction of 2% on currently taxed items but 10% added to a multitude of bread basket items that formally had 0% tax. Just think about it.
Obviously, the real issue is Senior Management will not bow down to Union Leadership demands. The Union's answer, get rid of anyone that stands up to us. We need to always get our way!
Wow, maybe the very first time I agreed with Tribanon & his suggestion could quite well be the Savior of Bahamas Health Care System. Well done Tribanon, hopefully someone in Gov't reads your suggestion.
Thank you "the messenger" for the cold hard truth. There are about four frequent posters that simply lie & purposely mislead. They are doing the Bahamas a grave mis-service.
