The issue is not the type of tax. It is its enforcement. Business licences are not supposed to be renewed unless NIB is paid that is correct. You know how many people get around that? Especially if you are a supporter of the party that happens to be in power at the time. Some don't even bother to renew their business licences. About property tax. In the US,if youdon't pay it,the police will eventually come into your house and move you out. Hardly the picture in the Bahamas. About VAT,;let's say a known supporter of a political party collects VAT from his customers and does not give it to the government. I seriously doubt that any action will be taken against him.
5 mllion for a "non binding" referendum. Hundreds of thousands spent on reports and "consultants". Hundrends of thousands if not mllions on foreign trips. Therefore,prepare to pay 15% extra on everything. Enjoy it.
Perhaps in the future,important announcements should be made by people who are really calling the shots. In the meantime, PC can keep boasting that he is the PM.
@ rory,........ I don't normaly agree with you,but I am with you on this one.PMH is a typical 3rdworld country hospital. I don't know how many hours one has to wait in the ER. Sometime last year,there was a report blasting the conditions at NICU or children's ward( I can't remember which one),and often you hear storiesabout missing records.
I also believe in Bahamians,i will close down web shops and I am about to create 10,000 jobs,not to mention the fact I care for the "small Bahamian man".
