Are we to believe that this happened without the knowledge of the PM who is also the minister of finance? If this is the case who coordinated this stupidity? Will it be any consequences?
Why the business licence portal was changed and this "estimated" revenue feature was added? Something like this was bound to add confusion,or this was their aim from the beginning,so they can claim that a business is not compliant?
I understand that many businesses are receiving intimidating letters that urge them to come clean. Should these businesses expect a visit from the task force with machine guns?
Whoever authorized this mess should either resign or be removed,although i would not expect such decency.

My thoughts exactly. While people are getting shot in a court's parking lot, police show that they can carry machine guns while are checking that businesses pay their taxes.

Some DIR and ministry of finance officials looks like they have the attitude of slave owners talking to their properies. Since everything is electronically filed all they have to do is check their computers. If clarifications are needed they can always contact the companies. If something illegal is found then they can take legal action.
This aggressive and ghetto mentality of guns and intimidation will do more harm than good.

Shots fired at the parking lot of the courthouse. I suppose police was busy helping DIR to make sure businesses are paying their taxes.

The team was not "heavy handed" or "aggressive" in their
approach. Does this mean that people are supposed to be gratefull because no shots were fired. Did they expect the managers and employees of the business to shoot at them?
Are you serious sir?

This is simply showing the incompetence and mentality of sone government officials. Showing up with guns for a tax issue. I also understand that a lot of businesses are receiving letters from DIR that are kind of threatening if the business is not compliant,although DIR has all the documents. I guess the slave mentality is alive and well

And this is coming from the same people that few years back erected billboards all over Nassau about the number of murders. I suppose they were more interested in getting power than the good of their country back then. And then we wonder why our country is at its present state.

Seriously, if the FNM plans to run to the next election they have to get rid of of both Pintard and Minnis. Otherwise really do not bother even contesting the election. You will be wasting your time and money.

If people stop patronizing Bahamasair, then politicians would have no excuse to keep spending taxpayers money to this disgrace. But then again Bahamians are just talk. Who will talk in couple of days about Bahamasair. Junkanoo is coming so the big national affair will be who won.

Politicians should be held accountable too. Especially since they are dealing with taxpayers money. Do you also support a disciplinary system for that also? Just asking
